Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Fall is not Fall if I don't make pumpkin whoopie pies! My family loves them and so does anyone who tries them! The recipe is requested often. I first tried them at my girlfriend's grandma's house and insisted on the recipe which she gave me. Thank you Niny! Prep time includes making the filling which I usually make while baking.
