Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup safflower oil
3 cups solid-pack pumpkin puree, chilled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Make the cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment or a nonstick baking mat.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together sugar and oil until well combined. Add pumpkin puree, and whisk until combined. Whisk in eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture; whisk until fully incorporated.
  • Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Smooth tops with a wet fingertip. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies just start to crack on top and a cake tester comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks, and let cookies cool completely.
  • Make the filling: With an electric mixer on medium-high, beat butter, cream, cocoa, and confectioners' sugar until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spread filling (about 1 scant tablespoon) on flat side of half the cookies; sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing to adhere. (Whoopie pies are best eaten the same day but can be refrigerated in airtight containers overnight.)

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my whoopie pies didn't turn out very well. They were too dry and the cookies were too crumbly.

I'm allergic to chocolate, so I made these whoopie pies with carob chips instead. They turned out great!

These whoopie pies were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding more moisture to the batter next time.

I had a hard time finding pumpkin puree, so I used canned pumpkin instead. The whoopie pies still turned out great.

These whoopie pies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar.

I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin desserts, but these whoopie pies were delicious! The pumpkin flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the chocolate cookies were moist and chewy. I'll definitely be making these again.
