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.

Steps:
- For cookie-cakes:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices in a bowl.
- Whisk together sugar, oil, pumpkin, egg, and vanilla in a separate large bowl until well combined, then stir in flour mixture.
- Using a 1-ounce ice cream scoop or tablespoon measure, drop a scant scoop's worth of batter or 2 scant tablespoons of batter onto a lined baking sheet to form 1 mound. Make 15 more mounds, arranging them 2 inches apart until baking sheet is full (you will have batter left over).
- Bake until springy to the touch, 12 to 18 minutes. Transfer cookie-cakes to rack to cool.
- Form and bake remaining batter on the other parchment-lined sheet. You should have a total of 32 cookie-cakes.
- Leave oven on.
- For candied pecans:
- Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Stir together sugar, salt, and 1/2 tablespoon water in a small saucepan. Heat over moderate heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to a boil. Stir in pecans.
- Spread mixture on lined sheet pan and bake until coating is bubbling and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Cool completely on pan on a rack.
- Coarsely chop candied pecans.
- For filling:
- While cookie-cakes are baking, beat cream cheese, butter, and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and bourbon and mix on low speed until smooth.
- Chill filling until firm enough to hold its shape when spread, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Assemble whoopie pies:
- Spread 1 heaping tablespoon of filling each on flat side of half the cooled cookie-cakes, then top with other half of cookie-cakes. If necessary, chill whoopie pies just long enough to firm up filling again, about 30 minutes.
- Gently press pecans onto filling around middle of each whoopie pie to help them adhere to filling.

Steps:
- Make the cookies: Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper (or use 2 baking sheets and bake the cookies in batches). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

PUMPKIN WHOOPIE PIES
I spotted these on Seriouseats.com this week and couldn't resist (they're originally from the bakery Baked). We enjoyed them at our office Halloween party. Recommendation: Eat them fresh -- they lose their punch when they sit overnight in the fridge and can get too wet. Expect a denser, cake-like cookie and not the usual fluffy chocolate whoopie pie. To up the orange color, maybe mix in some food coloring to the icing or add colored sugar to the edges.

VEGAN PUMPKIN WHOOPIE PIES
Whoopie pies are pretty expensive at the vegan bakery in my town, so I scrounged around and found two good-looking recipes on two different blogs. The first blog said that the result was tasty, but the texture wasn't spongy enough. So I used the filling recipe from there and found the cake recipe on another blog. The result is fantastic. NOTES: (1) The brown sugar is hard to blend in really well when it's clumpy, and so is the flour when the wet and dry ingredients come together. An electric mixer can probably fix that problem. (2) The recommended brands in the US for the egg replacer, vegan cream cheese and vegan butter, respectively, are Ener-G, Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese and Earth Balance. (3) As the first reviewer noted, these spongy pies are prone to both dry out fast and take on moisture. I wrapped mine individually in Saran wrap, but a more natural solution is to store them with a piece of stale bread, or just gather together a bunch of people and eat them in one go!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2. In mixing bowl, mix pumpkin with butter then add the cake mix, eggs, and milk.
- 3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or a silpat) and drop batter by heaping tablespoons onto the cookie sheet - 3 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges.
- 4. Remove from parchment and cool on wire rack. Once cooled, sandwich them together with the filling. Keep refrigerated. For easy serving - place each whoopie on a flattened out cupcake liner. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give the pies a more intense pumpkin flavor, but canned pumpkin puree is a convenient option that works just as well.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
- Bake the pies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the pies are cooked through.
- Let the pies cool completely before filling them: This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Store the pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the pies for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Whoopie pumpkin pies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for Halloween or Thanksgiving. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
