Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs and molasses into the butter-sugar mixture until smooth.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop equal amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are set.
- Remove the whoopie pies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
- While the cookies cool, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread a generous amount of filling onto the flat side of one cookie and gently top with another cookie, flat side down.
- Place the assembled whoopie pies in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving.
