Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cookies:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup apple cider, reduced to 1/4 cup
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookies: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the reduced apple cider, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.
  5. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  7. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat butter until smooth and creamy.
  9. Gradually add powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, beating until combined.
  10. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  11. Assemble the Whoopie Pies: Spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.
  12. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
  13. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

For an extra touch, dust the whoopie pies with powdered sugar before serving.
