PUMPKIN WHOOPIE PIES



Pumpkin Whoopie Pies image

I spotted these on Seriouseats.com this week and couldn't resist (they're originally from the bakery Baked). We enjoyed them at our office Halloween party. Recommendation: Eat them fresh -- they lose their punch when they sit overnight in the fridge and can get too wet. Expect a denser, cake-like cookie and not the usual fluffy chocolate whoopie pie. To up the orange color, maybe mix in some food coloring to the icing or add colored sugar to the edges.

Time 35m

Yield 24 large cookie sandwiches, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cloves
2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil (I substituted canola oil)
3 cups chilled pumpkin puree
2 eggs (large ones)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prep the cookies first. Preheat your oven to 350°.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and cloves together and put aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the brown sugar and oil together until combined.
  • Add the pumpkin puree and whisk to combine thoroughly.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined. (You may need to trade to a spatula here unless you have a large, sturdy whisk.).
  • Sprinkle the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture a half-cup at a time and whisk until completely combined. Do this until all flour is added and combined.
  • Use a small ice cream scoop or a large spoon to drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, about one inch apart.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are just starting to crack on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cookie comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the pan (or move them to a wire rack to reuse the sheet) while you make the filling.
  • To make the filling, sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until it's completely smooth, with no visible lumps.
  • Add the cream cheese and beat until combined.
  • Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth. Don't overmix the filling or it will lose its structure.
  • To assemble the cookies, turn one cooled cookies upside down so the flat side facing up.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon to drop a large dollop of filling onto the flat side of the cookie.
  • Place another cookie, flat side down, on top of the filling.
  • Press down slightly so that the filling spreads to the edges of the cookie.
  • Repeat this until you use all your cookies.
  • Chill the whoopie pies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving. They will keep for a couple days in the refrigerator if you don't eat them in one sitting.

Yield Makes 16 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 27

Cookie-cakes:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin (not pie filling)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Candied pecans:
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 tablespoon water
1/2 cup pecans
Filling:
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon bourbon (optional; substitute 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
Special Equipment
2 large baking sheets; parchment paper; 1-ounce round ice cream scoop (optional; see Cooks' Notes)

Steps:

  • For cookie-cakes:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices in a bowl.
  • Whisk together sugar, oil, pumpkin, egg, and vanilla in a separate large bowl until well combined, then stir in flour mixture.
  • Using a 1-ounce ice cream scoop or tablespoon measure, drop a scant scoop's worth of batter or 2 scant tablespoons of batter onto a lined baking sheet to form 1 mound. Make 15 more mounds, arranging them 2 inches apart until baking sheet is full (you will have batter left over).
  • Bake until springy to the touch, 12 to 18 minutes. Transfer cookie-cakes to rack to cool.
  • Form and bake remaining batter on the other parchment-lined sheet. You should have a total of 32 cookie-cakes.
  • Leave oven on.
  • For candied pecans:
  • Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Stir together sugar, salt, and 1/2 tablespoon water in a small saucepan. Heat over moderate heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to a boil. Stir in pecans.
  • Spread mixture on lined sheet pan and bake until coating is bubbling and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Cool completely on pan on a rack.
  • Coarsely chop candied pecans.
  • For filling:
  • While cookie-cakes are baking, beat cream cheese, butter, and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and bourbon and mix on low speed until smooth.
  • Chill filling until firm enough to hold its shape when spread, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Assemble whoopie pies:
  • Spread 1 heaping tablespoon of filling each on flat side of half the cooled cookie-cakes, then top with other half of cookie-cakes. If necessary, chill whoopie pies just long enough to firm up filling again, about 30 minutes.
  • Gently press pecans onto filling around middle of each whoopie pie to help them adhere to filling.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your whoopie pies turn out perfectly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your whoopie pies. Use fresh pumpkin puree, spices, and butter for the best results.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps it to hold its shape and prevents it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the whoopie pies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Cookie Scoop: A cookie scoop is a great way to ensure that all of your whoopie pies are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the Whoopie Pies Until They're Set: The whoopie pies are done baking when they spring back when you touch them lightly.
  • Let the Whoopie Pies Cool Completely: Before you fill them, let the whoopie pies cool completely on a wire rack. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Use a Piping Bag or Ziploc Bag to Fill the Whoopie Pies: A piping bag or ziploc bag fitted with a star tip is a great way to fill the whoopie pies neatly and evenly.
  • Chill the Whoopie Pies Before Serving: Chilling the whoopie pies before serving helps the filling to set and makes them easier to eat.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie whoopie pies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for fall. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect whoopie pies every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
