Rosey's Pumpkin Whoopie Pies (127 calories)

Let me just start off buy saying that when I made these I had a serious sweet tooth and these seriously hit the spot!!

 If you don't know what a whoopie pie is it is a sandwich type cookie with some kind of cream cheese filling in the middle.

That being said.. I do not know that last time I had a whoopie pie but I was craving one! So I started looking up recipes and was shocked. Most of the recipes I found had over 600 calories for one!! So I went to work on how to make them still amazing but able to fit into my calorie budget. So I present to you my Pumpkin Whoopie Pie Recipe.
