Spiced Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with a Browned Butter Cinnamon Maple Frosting

I started a new job a couple month ago, and in typical new girl fashion, I still feel like I don't know how everything works in the office yet. 
When it came time this past week for the annual office Thanksgiving potluck lunch, I had no idea what people normally did, where the event even was held in the office, or how it might work if people brought a food item that needed to be served warm/re-heated. So, obviously in my over-analyzing panic, I decided a room temperature dessert was a safe choice to contribute!
And obviously, I chose something pumpkin...because...festive!
I also wanted something that wouldn't be messy to serve, so a cookie or bar, and then something without frosting on top, so I could make a lot and stack them in a container more easily.
I realize I put entirely too much thought into this. As per usual. Welcome to my brain ;)

Anyway, I came upon the pumpkin spice whoopie pie sandwich cookie and thought it would be perfect!!

Win!! You guys, these are soo good! The perfect blend of fall flavors and spices.

Such a good option for a Thanksgiving potluck, a Friendsgiving, or give the actual pumpkin pie a run for its money at actual Thanksgiving! The more pumpkin, the better, I say.
