Recipe Friday --Pumpkin Whoopie Pies!
Happy Friday! I'm late posting this because I was trying to find a recipe that made sense and didn't appear to need revisions. As I've mentioned before, some of the recipes from my Amish friends are a little sketchy, often not mentioning how long to cook/bake or at what temperature. I typed in an entire recipe, only to decide that it wasn't making sense to me. But I don't claim to be an expert baker, so it might have just been me! But it's fall...and another pumpkin recipe seemed in order! This one came from the Amish in the San Luis Valley in Colorado. Any takers? Someone want to try this one?
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
2 c. brown sugar
1 c. oil
1 c. pumpkin
3 c. flour
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
Filling:
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. Crisco
2 c. powdered sugar
Cream together sugar and oil. Add eggs and pumpkin. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes. Mix together filling and spread between two cookies.
OH DEAR -- I've typed another recipe exactly as it was given to me, and now I'm wondering....how big should the cookies be? Greased or non-greased pan? How many does it make? HOPING someone will try this out and report back!
It's beautiful weather here in Texas! Hope it's beautiful where you are!

Give me a couple days and I will try it. I have a wedding in the afternoon and I have to take my disabled parents to a Vietnam Veterans a dinner in the evening tomorrow. Sunday I get up for church. I should be able to try this later Sunday or definately on Monday. Stay tuned, I will leave a comment as soon as they are made.

I have not made this recipe, Beth, but I do make Whoopie Pies. I use my cookie scoop, but think a 1/4 measuring cup would be the right amount. I like to bake them on parchment paper.

Great information! Thanks, ladies. Looking forward to hearing about your results, Monique.

Ok, I don't bake, but I sat and watched my sister make them. We made 36 wafers or 18 full whoopie pies. Ours were 3" in diameter and were baked in a whoopie pie pan (sold at Wiliams Sonoma)that my sister uses to make muffin tops. She used 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter, an extra small scoop(also from WS) for each. (Can you guess where my sister works?)
We thought if we put a little crystalized ginger in the filling it might make it even better.

Thanks for trying the recipe and filling in the blanks for us. I will make these notations on my copy. I would find it very hard to come home with any paycheck left if I worked at WS.

Hello Beth, I make pumpkin whoppie pies a lot and I grease (spray) the cookie sheets, I put about 1 heaping TBS. of dough and flatten out some to the size of a silver dollar, instead of the separate spices i use pumpkin pie spice mix, 2 TBS. and i make homemade cream cheese Icing for the filling, these turn out really good, Keep refrigerated. my recipe is slightly different than yours, 2 cups brown sugar, 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 1/2 cups pumpkin, 2 eggs, 3 cups flour, 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 tes. baking powder, 1 tes. baking soda, 1 tes. salt, 1 tes. vanilla, drop onto a greased cookie sheet, flatten out to silver dollar size , bake at 350, for 8 to 10 min, cool pair up and fill.
