Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Filling

tailored from this recipe. This recipe makes about 20 small whoopie pies

1 1/2 cups recent pumpkin puree or 1 15 oz can pumpkin (be sure it's pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
2 eggs
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup light olive oil (or different impartial oil)
2 TBS molasses
1 tsp salt
3/four tsp ground cloves
1 tsp floor ginger
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp baking soda
3 cups all goal flour

For Cinnamon Cream Cheese Filling

1 eight oz pkg cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
3-four cups sifted powdered sugar
pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla
1-2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 and cover 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Beat together pumpkin, eggs, sugar, oil and molasses.

In another bowl add flour, salt, spices, and baking soda.

Add flour mixture to wet mixture and beat collectively, be sure all is incorporated.

Scoop batter onto cookie sheets lined with parchment. I used a medium sized cookie scoop, about 1-1 1/2 Tablespoons in size. If you don't have a cookie scoop I'd use a tablespoon for this task to make sure they're all the identical dimension.

Bake 10-12 minutes. Mine took 11 minutes.

Cool utterly then make sandwiches with frosting.

Frosting Instructions

While cookies are baking, add the cream cheese and butter to a bowl of stand mixer. Beat collectively until whipped, 3 minutes or so, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla. Add the powdered sugar, three cups first, then beat nicely. Add cinnamon to taste, I'd start with 1 teaspoon, and go from there. I ended up using 2 to 2 1/2. This quantity may even rely how recent or what number of cinnamon you might be utilizing, and your taste in fact. Add extra if you want your frosting to be extra stiff. Or alternately, use a large bowl and hand mixer, beat nicely.

You'll in all probability have frosting left over. It freezes nicely. Or add a little milk to it and use it as a frosting for cinnamon rolls. Or use it as a filling for my next whoopie pie recipe coming soon! Banana whoopie pies, stay tuned!
