Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pies with Krusteaz

As the holidays approach you can’t go wrong with a cookie recipe that’s as delicious and easy as these Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pies. They’re packed with pumpkin spice flavor, because they’re made with Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix, and filled with an Old Fashioned Whoopie Pie Cream that’s light and delicious. I love how quickly these cookies come together and I make them often when I need a last minute dessert to impress!

Krusteaz baking mixes have been my go-to for years. I can count on them to taste like homemade. I always keep a few boxes in the pantry, and these Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pies are always a hit. I love that they feel just a tiny bit more sophisticated than serving a plate of cookies, but are still familiar and loved by kids and adults alike. When I serve them guests usually exclaim that they have’t had home whoopie pies in ages. So, let’s bring back the whoopie pie – it’s too delicious to let this dessert fade from our holiday tables! 

Everyone asks for the recipe, and no one can believe they’re not made from scratch, or how easy it is to make them! Check out the recipe and get ready to have a new favorite holiday cookie!
