Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.
In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and oil until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking pan, leaving space for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until set.
Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack after a few minutes on the baking sheet.
For the filling, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Mix in the vanilla and 1 cup of powdered sugar, adjusting with more sugar (1-2 cups) until the filling is spreadable.
To assemble, spread the filling on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened for easy mixing.
Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container for up to three days.
For a spiced flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the filling.
