1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup canned pure pumpkin

Yield Makes 12 whoopie pies

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 cup vegetable oil
3 cups pumpkin puree, chilled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups firmly packed dark-brown sugar
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; set aside. In another large bowl, whisk together oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add brown sugar and whisk until combined. Sprinkle flour mixture over pumpkin mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
  • Using a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop with a release mechanism, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Transfer to oven and bake until cookies are just starting to crack on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of each cookie comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on pan.
  • Make the filling: Sift confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth. Add cream cheese and beat until well combined. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla, beat just until smooth. (Filling can be made up to a day in advance. Cover and refrigerate; let stand at room temperature to soften before using.)
  • Assemble the whoopie pies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Transfer filling to a disposable pastry bag and snip the end. When cookies have cooled completely, pipe a large dollop of filling on the flat side of half of the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing down slightly so that the filling spreads to the edge of the cookies. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate cookies at least 30 minutes before serving and up to 3 days.

Tips

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Canned pumpkin puree is fine, but fresh pumpkin puree will give your whoopie pies a more vibrant flavor and color.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the whoopie pies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set: The whoopie pies should be slightly puffy and spring back when you touch them. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them: This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the whoopie pies messy.
  • Use a variety of fillings: You can use any type of filling you like in your whoopie pies. Some popular options include chocolate ganache, whipped cream, and cream cheese frosting.

Conclusion

Pumpkin pie whoopie pies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for fall. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of fillings. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these whoopie pies a try!
