Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

As most of you  know, Luke's absolute favorite sweet is Whoopie Pies.  I usually use them to bribe him to do something big for me but today I did a variation "just because".  :) They turned out fabulous and might be better than the traditional chocolate Whoopie Pies I usually make.  I say that because I'm not all that crazy about chocolate and absolutely LOVE pumpkin anything.  Here is the recipe in case you'd like to try it.  They only take about 10 minutes to mix up.  Total time is approximately 45 mins. including cooling time.  The recipe makes 2 dozen filled pies.

2 eggs
1 C. veg. oil
1 1/2 C. solid pack pumpkin
1 tsp.vanilla
2 C. brown sugar

3 C. all purpose flour
1 1/2 TBSP. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. cloves
1 1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda

Filling:
2 TBSP milk
1 egg white
2 C. confectioners sugar
3/4 C. crisco

To make cookies:
Preheat oven to 350.  Grease cookies sheets or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl beat brown sugar and veg. oil.  Add egg and pumpkin.  Beat well.  Add vanilla.  Sift dry ingredients together and slowly add to wet ingredients.  Do not over mix.
Drop batter by heaping tsp. onto cookie sheets.  Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
Cool completely on wire rack.
Meanwhile beat egg white.  Add milk.  Add 1 C. confectioners sugar.  Add crisco.  Add remaining sugar.  Beat until fluffy.
When cookies are completely cooled fill with frosting.  Store in airtight container.
Enjoy!
