PrintThese pumpkin whoopie pies with brown butter and cream cheese icing are sweet perfection. Just one bite you'll be in pumpkin spice heaven!
1 15 oz. Can of Pumpkin, (or 2 c. fresh pumpkin, cooked and mashed)
2 c. Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 c. Butter (or substitute with vegetable or avocado oil. No strong flavored oils such as olive oil)
3 1/4 c. Flour, unbleached
1 Tbsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 Tbsp. Cinnamon
2 tsp. Vanilla
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Baking Powder
8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
1/3 c. Butter, browned (Be sure to use a better-quality butter for this. I have discovered, a low-quality butter will not brown/caramelize properly.)
3 1/4 c. Powdered Sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla
Play a little matching game! Some of the cookies may be more oval shaped, some perfectly round, and a few may be slightly bigger/smaller than the others. Sort the cookies into pairs that are similar in size and shape. (If you have children, this is something that they'd love to help with and it's a great hands-on learning experience!)
When the cookies are paired up, hold one in your hand with the bottom side up. Use the other hand to scoop some of that yummy icing onto the cookie and spread evenly. Then, gently press the other cookie you've paired this one with bottom first into the icing.
And look at that! You've made you first whoopie pie!! Set it to the side (if you can resist) and repeat the process until all the whoopie pies have been filled.
