Pumpkin Recipes: "whoopie pie" pumpkin cookies

EXTRAS, RECIPESKim & ChloeComment

Happy Halloween! We had to bring you one more pumpkin recipe... because there are going to be a whole lot of pumpkins around for a few more weeks and you just might get tired of all that candy. Just in case.... Recipe from Kayla, PopCosmo’s Teen Chef:  If you've ever had a pumpkin whoopie pie, prepare to celebrate because these are just like the cookies in a whoopie pie. They are soft and moist, more like heavenly bite-sized droplets of cake than cookies. I make them exceptionally small to get the texture just right, but be careful or you'll end up inhaling half a dozen of them. Don't feel bad, though; they really aren't that bad for you. At least when you compare them to all the other (inferior) cookies you've had in the past. Because of the incredible amount of pumpkin, these cookies are chock-full of those things called vitamins. Oh yes, I said it. The mortal enemy of dessert, something actually healthy, is in something this delicious. How could that be? Well, you'll just have to make this recipe and find out.
