Gingerbread Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Note: This recipe seemed to miss adding something during the mixing of the gingerbread mix and egg. I plan to whip them up and add pumpkin butter to the batter if too dry. These can easily be made with a brownie mix and fluffy white frosting. This came from Top 20 Pumpkin Recipes.
