Can you believe you’re just 5 ingredients away from these delicious cookies from pumpkin heaven? Fluffy whipped cream cheesecake filling sandwiched between soft pumpkin cookies. Mmm… they rival my Pumpkin Nutella Muffins from last week!
The Story:
I have a little bit of a curse. I bake just about every day and things go perfectly, but whenever I’m making something for someone I’m trying to impress, everything goes wrong! My oven goes haywire, my timer glitches, I’m out of butter, the cake gets stuck in the pan! Even when I think I’m home free and I head out the door, I trip and SPLAT.
5 Ingredient Pumpkin Cheesecake Whoopie Pies
Ingredients
Soft Pumpkin Cookies:

- 15 oz. pumpkin puree
- 1/2 C. oil

- 16 oz. whipping cream
Instructions
-
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
-
2. Combine cake mix, pumpkin and oil until smooth.

3. Scoop out dough balls about the size of walnuts onto parchment paper and bake for about 14 minutes or until the tops of the cookies "spring" back when you touch them.

They bake up so pretty!
Whoopie pies are just so perfect looking… And so easy. They’re always my go-to for parties because they’re easy to make and easy to pack up in a big tupperware.
What is the yield of this recipe?
I think I can gain about 10 pounds. 🙂
Between 12-16 whoopie pies! It just depends how large your make them!
I think your wonderful pumpkin recipes are going to force me to let go of summer! Keep them coming, the all look delicious! And I know what you mean about baking for others. It’s like the added pressure works against you and makes it nearly impossible to get things perfect!
I am trying these!! do they need to be stored in the fridge?
If you’re going to eat them in a few hours you’re fine to leave them out, I just think they taste a little better chilled 🙂
Sounds amazing! Hey lizzy I have a question, for homecoming week my club asked me to make cupcakes for the carnival. I need to make 3 different flavors, I’m going to make a blue velvet to represent to school, what two other flavors do u think would be perfect for teenagers?
Any of my candy bar themed cupcakes go great with teens and kids! But honestly, you can also make whatever you want and top them with a piece of a Snickers or a PB cup and they’ll go fast!!
These are so awesome. And they’re perfect Lizzy!
Lizzy,
I just made these and used the walnut size batter for the cookie……making 25 whoopie pies……perfect for 1-2 bites. Oh my! Love that cheesecake pudding, and it is soooo rich with the whipped cream! What a fun and delicious …and easy recipe! Just love your blog! Thank you for sharing with all of us! I am feeling Fall coming on already after smelling pumpkin in the house.
Thanks for letting me know how it turned out!
These look seriously delicious <3 pumpkin stuff and this recipe is so easy!!
I think you should make a red velvet and snicker doodle whoopie pie recipe!
What size pudding mix did you use?
Sooo ready to make and enjoy, but does recipe require a small or large package of Jello? Thanks!
either will work actually! But I used the small 🙂
Do you make the pudding mix and then add whip cream or do you just dump the mix in and add whip cream?
I love these whoopie pies and they’re super easy! I’m wanting to make red velvet whoopie pies. Do you know of a good substitute for pumpkin puree?
I made this today and everyone LOVED it! I was told that I have to make it every year. Thanks for this super easy and yummy recipe!
can i use this same mixture and make a cupcake instead of a whoopie pie?
I made these and did something I rarely do – didn’t even taste them before I delivered them to one friend for her birthday as she was having a family party. Another box to another friend having a birthday and a whole group of us went out to a movie and dinner. Both groups absolutely loved them which is great considering how easy they are. Thank you.
Everything I have ever made from your recipes has been terrific.
These are incredibly delicious!..
Transactional SMS have increased exponentially in the last few years. Banks, stores, and companies send out notifications and alerts to users or customers or employees on a daily basis. They connect their systems to a texting service using a SMS gateway.
Seamless communication is what businesses aim for to have an active and healthy relationship with customers. For this, they need a swift and effective channel and nothing can beat bulk SMS in this regard. Text messaging is not going anywhere as it is still the fastest and most preferred channel.
