With one bite of these cookie whoopie pies you’ll feel like Fall has arrived.
These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are full of pumpkin goodness and warm spices, which make for the quintessential Fall cookie. To head off the thought you might be thinking, no, the chocolate chips are not weird. Pumpkin spice and chocolate are a delicious combo. Plus, these are SO soft and chewy. I made these a few years back and they are still one of my favorite cookies of all time. That’s saying a lot because I make a lot of cookies. A lot.
I wanted to make these cookies again but kick them up a notch. I think that turning them into whoopie pies definitely did the trick. I used the same filling from my chocolate chip cookie whoopie pies because it’s so tasty and easy to make.
Note to self, when it’s warm out, don’t place these cookie sandwiches into a big pile because it gets really messy very quickly. In other words, the filling may squeeze out. Don’t worry, no cookies were harmed and they were all fully consumed.
