This is my mother’s recipe, but I added the chocolate chips!
[columns_row width=”half”]
[column]
2 egg yolks
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup oil
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon salt
[/column] [column]2 cups pumpkin
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1 cup (approx.) milk chocolate chips
[/column] [/columns_row]Mix well. Use a large spoon to drop on cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8–10 minutes (maybe longer depending on the size you make them — test them to make sure they are baked through).
Filling:
This is the BEST filling – if you don’t make the pumpkin whoopies, I suggest you use this filling for all your whoopie recipes!
3/4 cup butter
1 1/3 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 tub FLUFF (marshmallow)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Mix well. An electric mixer works best.
Fill whoopies once they have completely cooled. ENJOY!
