Roll Tide- Football whoopie pies
We are getting ready to watch the big game tonight…really hoping for an Alabama win- ROLL TIDE! We are going to go and watch the game with some friends tonight so I made these cute treats to take and share. We are more College football fans so I went ahead and made them for tonight, but they would also be a great addition to a Super Bowl Party.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour (I used 2 cups all purpose and 1 cup whole wheat)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon cloves
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 15 oz can of pumpkin
- 1/2 cup milk
- cooking spray
Instructions
- sift the 1st 7 ingredients into a large bowl
- using your mixer cream the butter and sugars together, gradually add in the oil, next add the eggs one at a time, beating to blend in between additions. Beat in pumpkin. Add in the dry ingredients in 2 steps alternating with the milk.
- cover the batter and chill for an hour
- Spray your pans with cooking spray and fill or pipe out your whoopie pies onto a parchment lined cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray
- bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes- toothpick should come out clean when done
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 (16-ounce) package confectioners' sugar
- 3 drops vanilla extract
- 2 dashes cinnamon
Instructions
- Beat together cream cheese and butter.
- Add confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Frost flat side of half the pies and put together (if using the egg pan you will need to cut them in ahalp length wise then frost)
- once they are put together pipe the laces in top
- Enjoy right away, or chill overnight
The cake part of the Whoopie pie is pumpkin and I made a cream cheese frosting with just a hint of cinnamon as the filling. To get the football shape I used a mini easter egg pan. You could also just pipe out your batter into the football shape.
*also note to get a more brown cake for the footballs I added some brown food coloring paste to the cake batter*

These are adorable! I’ve seen football cookies but not whoopie pies .. your 3D version is much better!

If I remember correctly I got about 18 whoopie pies with icing and then I had some cakes left over- they would make a great Superbowl dessert for this weekend :)
