Recipe: Pumpkin whoopie pies

OMG! There's really nothing else to say about these cookies. If you like pumpkin, you're gonna want to try these immediately. Warning: You might want to eat the whole batch.



Ingredients
1 box angel food cake mix
1 can (15 oz.) pure pumpkin
8 oz. fat-free cream cheese
2 tbsp. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Water
Pumpkin pie spice
Cinnamon
Cooking spray

Combine cake mix, pumpkin and a tablespoon of water in a large bowl. Mix with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. About a minute. Coat two cookie sheets with cooking spray. (I lined mine with aluminum foil first as well.) Drop cake mix into 12 round spoonfuls on each pan. About a tablespoon per cookie. You're trying to make 48 cookies total so use about half the mixture on the first two pans. Bake at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes or until edges of cookies start to brown. Remove from oven and cool completely. Repeat with second half of cake mixture. Meanwhile, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, 1 tsp. water and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon in a small bowl. Once all of the cookies are completely cool, spread cream cheese filling on one cookie and top with a second cookie. The cookies were a bit sticky, so I put them on wax paper when I was done. Makes 24 whoopie pies.
