Ahhhh November!
How glad I am to see you!
Halloween was such a fun holiday,
but I'm ready to move on to Thanksgiving
and then of course CHRISTMAS!!
I'll try to keep my Christmas cheer to a minimum until after Thanksgiving.
But maybe just a few recipes?? Please??
Can you believe its Week #9?!
And the worst part is we only have 3 weeks left!!
Well today I am absolutely crazy about our recipe.
Maybe, just maybe my favorite so far.
I mean who can resist a whoopie pie?!
What could be better?!
Let me tell you... PUMPKIN Whoopie Pies!
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

2 C Brown Sugar, packet

1 1/2 C Solid Pack Pumpkin Puree
2 Eggs

1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Tbsp Ground Ginger
1/2 Tbsp Ground Cloves

3/4 C Shortening
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease baking sheets.
- Combine the oil and brown sugar. Mix in the pumpkin and eggs, beating well. Add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Mix well.
- Drop dough by heaping teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 10-12 mins. Cool cookies completely and make sandwiches from two cookies filled with Whoopie Pie Filling.
- Whoopie Pie Filling: Beat egg white and mix with the milk, 1 tsp vanilla and 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar. Mix well then beat in the shortening and the remaining cup of confectioners' sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
I really thought whoopie pies were much more difficult to make.
I was so pleasantly surprised by how easy this recipe was to make.
And they are SO SO Good!!
Happy November, Friends!
