Desserts : Cookies : Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese Frosting

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
1/2 teaspoon pure maple 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 maple extract)

Special equipment: 2 large baking sheets; parchment paper; 1-ounce
round ice cream scoop
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.


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.

Enjoy!!!
Best,
Stefanie :)
