Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice together.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and oil until combined.
Add the egg and vanilla to the mixture and mix well.
Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined thoroughly.
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately apart.
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, then let them sit for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
For the filling, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Add vanilla and 1 cup of powdered sugar, mixing well. Adjust with more powdered sugar until the filling is easy to spread but not runny.
To assemble, spread the filling on the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie flat side down, creating a sandwich.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened for smooth filling preparation.
Store whoopie pies in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
