Delicious Pumpkin-maple Whoopie Pies
Cake Tops/Bottoms Ingredients
Filling Ingredients
Recipe Instructions: Cake Tops/Bottoms - Line the bottom of your baking sheet with buttered parchment paper. Combine and whisk first five cake ingredients in a Large Bowl. In a Medium Bowl with hand mixer (or in an electric mixer) beat on medium speed butter and sugar until smooth (about 1 minute), then add eggs and vanilla and beat an additional 30 seconds. Next, add sour cream and pumpkin to wet mixture just until combined. Gradually add wet mixture to the flour mixture and blend by hand just until it is evenly combined. Now you're ready to drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto your baking sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart. Batter should be thick enough to clump and hold its shape. Bake for about 10-15 minutes at 300 degrees F or until cakes are firm and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool the cakes for 5 minutes. To prepare filling, beat butter, cream cheese and maple flavor extract in a large bowl with hand mixer about 1 minute on medium speed. Decrease speed to low and add confectioners sugar. Beat until ingredients are combined and filling is smooth. As an alternative, you can also use Pure Maple Cream as the filling, which wouldn't require any preparation and is just as tasty. Once cakes are cool, put about a tablespoon of filling between cake tops and bottoms and refrigerate until frosting is firm, generally for 30 minutes to an hour. Your Pumpkin-maple Whoopie Pies should have a robust maple flavor. If not, use a bit more maple flavor in your next batch. The whoopie pies may also be moist and sticky. This is normal. Napkins required. A YUMMY Thanksgiving dessert! Yield: 1 dozen whoopie pies **Be sure to also check out our Pumpkin Muffins with Maple Cream recipe.

This variation on pumpkin whoopie pies which adds maple flavor to the cream cheese filling has been a family favorite since 2000,
coming to us from a resident of Wilmington Vermont who wishes to remain anonymous. Not
sure why, because we've tried her Pumpkin-maple Whoopie Pies and they're beyond DELICIOUS! They're so good, it's hard to stop at just one.
Perfect for breakfast with a strong cup of coffee, or Thanksgiving dessert. Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year to bring out the family recipe book.
We hope you'll add this recipe to your pumpkin recipe favorites!
