Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 12 whoopie pies

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

2 cups firmly packed dark-brown sugar
3 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Make the cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; set aside. In another large bowl, whisk together oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add brown sugar and whisk until combined. Sprinkle flour mixture over pumpkin mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

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:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your whoopie pies will taste. This is especially important for the chocolate, which should be of high quality.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the whoopie pies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the batter before baking. Chilling the batter will help the whoopie pies hold their shape and rise evenly.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting or making the whoopie pies soggy.
  • Be creative with your fillings. There are many different fillings that you can use for whoopie pies, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some popular fillings include chocolate ganache, vanilla buttercream, and peanut butter frosting.

Conclusion:

Whoopie pies are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give whoopie pies a try.
