Pumpkin whoopie pies with maple frosting
Pumpkin whoopie pies! Oh my, do I have a yummy recipe for you today! These pumpkin whoopie pies with maple frosting are so so yummy! The little touch of maple really takes these pumpkin cookies over the top! They remind me of a cookie I tasted last year in an Amish bakery in Pennsylvania. I was visiting my husband while he was on a rotation there and they were the perfect treat. I so was happy to find a recipe that looked similar to those cookies and give them a try. These cookies did not disappoint!
I have to say these pumpkin whoopie pies tasted even better the next day! The pumpkin flavor really comes out. So if you can resist… store them in a container and place them in the refrigerator until the next day! I can’t wait to make these again and again this holiday season.
