How to Make Pumpkin Whoopie Pies With Cream Cheese Filling

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each whoopie pie.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese filling: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  9. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract.
  10. Once the whoopie pies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of cream cheese filling onto the flat side of half of the cakes.
  11. Top with the remaining cakes to create whoopie pies.
  12. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
