For the Filling 

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. 
  • With an electric mixer, beat oil and sugar together. Add pumpkin and egg and mix well. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until just combined. 
  • With a piping bag, pipe circles onto baking sheet about 2 inches apart.  
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly browned on edges and spring back when touched.
  • Cool 5 minutes before moving to cooling rack. Cool completely before icing. 
  • Beat all the ingredients for the filling together until smooth and creamy. 
  • Pipe on spread filling onto one cookie. Top with a second. Do this with remaining cookies. 
  • Put the mini chocolate chips on a flat plate. Roll the whopper pie edges lightly in the mini chips to coat. 

Notes

Don’t overmix: Stir until just combined to keep cookies tender.
Cool completely: Warm cookies will melt the filling, so let them cool.
Use a cookie scoop: Ensures even-sized whoopie pies for better sandwiching.
