How to Make Orange Almond Cream Whoopie Pies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the egg, oil, orange zest, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
  7. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  9. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  10. Stir in the almond extract.
  11. Once the cookies are completely cool, spoon or pipe a generous amount of filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
  12. Serve and enjoy your delicious Orange Almond Cream Whoopie Pies!
