Pumpkin Whoopie Pies!

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving!  We had lunch with John's family then went to my cousin's house to visit with my family. Being vegetarians we had to bypass the tryptophan-laden main courses and instead opted for all the yummy side dishes John's mom made for us such as mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and biscuits.

I've been on a bit of a baking spree this week, and for Thanksgiving I decided to make pumpkin whoopie pies.  I had never tasted these delectable treats before, but I have seen pictures and they always look delicious!  Again with the help of my mother's KitchenAid stand mixer I made this recipe from scratch.

Turns out everyone else had made a dessert as well, and not many people had room for these dense little pieces of heaven. They were good, but very filling! I think if I make them again I will stick to a single batch and use more frosting in the middle. They were fun to make, and they turned out so pretty! What did you make for your Thanksgiving feast?
