Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.
In a large bowl, mix together sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and oil until smooth.
Incorporate the egg and vanilla into the mixture.
Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Allow the cookies to sit briefly before transferring them to a cooling rack.
For the filling, beat softened cream cheese and butter together until creamy.
Stir in vanilla and 1 cup of powdered sugar, adjusting with an additional 1-2 cups for desired consistency.
Spread the cream cheese filling on the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to form a sandwich.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree.
Adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the filling to achieve the desired sweetness and consistency.
Store whoopie pies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
