Chocolate Chip & Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

After the Apple Harvest Festival we (Kristen and me) decided to make some Whoopie Pies! We knew we wanted pumpkin and we decided to add some chocolate chips. :)

Done mixing! :) (yep used my kitchen aid mixer)

Kristen putting the mix on wax paper. (I need a ice cream scoop to make them more round and equal)

The book Kristen has with all the whoopie recipes. The pictures in the book are cute!! :)

Whoopies cooling! :) So, what if they don't look perfect.

For the icing Kristen cut the tip of a ziploc bag off and put the cake tip in.

She used a glass to put the 'icing bag' in to make it easier to add the icing. You just hold the glass while filling the bag with icing. Makes it so much easier. Great tip Kristen! :)

Once the icing is in your bag you can squeeze it down to the bottom. Then put on your whoopies.

You can put as much or little icing on your whoopies. :) (disregard that I need to repaint my nails) haha

Whoopies all done. They are soooooooooooo good. The chocolate chips with the pumpkin are perfect. :)
