How to Make Pumpkin Whoopie Pie Cookies:
Making these pumpkin whoopie pie sandwich cookies is quick and easy! You’ll just gather the ingredients, make and bake the cookie recipe, then whip up the filling and once the cookies are cool add the filling and combine two cookies together – then serve!
- In a small bowl, you’ll combine your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and ground cloves.
- In a large bowl, mix together your wet ingredients by beating the pumpkin, oil, brown sugar, and egg together until smooth.
- Gradually combine your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients, beating until evenly blended.
- You’re ready to bake the cookies! Use a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet and scoop the batter onto the baking sheet using a 1 Tbsp Cookie Scoop, leaving space between each of the cookies for them to expand.
- Pop your cookie trays into the oven at 350*F for 15 minutes or until the tops are well set. Allow the cookies to cool.
- While the cookies cool, mix together your filling ingredients, beating until smooth. Scoop your filling into a piping bag.
- Add the cream cheese filling to the bottom of half of your cooled cookies, then press two cookies together, adding a top cookie to form a cookie sandwich!
FAQ’s About Making Pumpkin Whoopie Pie Sandwich Cookies Recipe:
Q: Do I have to use a piping bag for the filling?
A: No! You can substitute a zippered sandwich bag and simply cut off the tip of the bag to use as a piping bag. You can also simply scoop a spoonful of filling onto the bottom of the cookie.
Q: Will Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix work instead of the individual spices?
A: Pumpkin pie spice mix includes a mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. It can also sometimes include allspace. The mixture and ratio are a little different than this recipe, but in a pinch it would work just fine as a substitute. Use 1 1/2 Tbls of pumpkin spice mix instead.
Q: How big should my whoopie pie sandwich cookies be?
A: I prefer to use a 1 Tbsp cookie scoop, which makes the cookies when fully cooked about 2″. If you do not have a cookie scoop, you can use a Silicone Baking Mat that has cookie measurements to help you make consistent and evenly sized cookies so they are easier to pair together when cooked.
