Pumpkin Whoopie Pies recipe

Yield: 24 Whoopie Pies

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

Filling

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup Marshmallow Creme
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

Instructions

Cookies

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust one rack to lower middle position and one to upper middle position. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt.
  3. Fit a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, and whip together sugar and eggs. Whip until pale and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes on medium-high speed.
  4. Add pumpkin and melted butter, and mix on low speed until combined.
  5. Once combined, continue mixing, while slowly adding flour mixture. Mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
  6. Spoon mixture into a pastry bag or zip top bag with a corner snipped off, and pipe about 1 tablespoon of batter into mounds on the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 1 inch space between. Pipe 24 per sheet.
  7. Place cookie sheets in oven, one on the upper middle rack, and one on the lower middle rack.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until cakes are set, rotating and switching the trays halfway through baking time.
  9. When baking time is over, let cakes cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then remove to cooling rack to let cool. Meanwhile, make Filling.

Filling

  1. Whip confectioners' sugar and butter together in a stand mixer, then add cream cheese, Marshmallow Creme and maple syrup. Whip until lump-free and very smooth.
  2. Spoon into pastry bag or zip top bag with a corner snipped off.
  3. Spread or pipe a little less than a tablespoon of filling over the bottom cake, then lightly press a second cake over the filling.
