Gingerbread Whoopie Pies Recipe

Ingredients

For the Gingerbread:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• ½ tsp ground allspice
• ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• ¾ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
• 8 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup unsulfured molasses
• 3 tbsp crystallized ginger, finely chopped
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup buttermilk

For the Filling:

• 6 oz cream cheese, cut into pieces, at room temperature
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted (plus extra for garnish)
• Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted butter, molasses, and crystallized ginger until combined. Add the egg and buttermilk, whisking until smooth.
3. Gently fold in the flour mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined—don’t overmix.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat. Use a 1-tbsp cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until the cookies are puffy. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. For the filling, beat the butter with 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth. Add the remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar and mix until combined. With the mixer on medium, add the cream cheese, one piece at a time, then mix in the vanilla and lemon zest.
7. Pipe the filling onto half of the cooled cookies and top with the remaining cookies, bottom side down.
8. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your delicious whoopie pies!
