Whoopie Pie Cookies

Method

Whoopie Pie Cookies

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3

Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5

Incorporate Applesauce

Mix in the applesauce until fully combined.

6

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

7

Scoop and Bake

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly springy to the touch.

8

Cool Cookies

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Filling

9

Prepare the Filling

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

10

Add Sugar and Flavorings

Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

11

Assemble Whoopie Pies

Once cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie, flat side down. Repeat with remaining cookies.
