  • 2 cups light brown sugar packed
Filling
  • 0.5 cups cream cheese
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Method
 

Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  3. Combine gluten-free flour, salt, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, add the vegetable oil, pumpkin purée, eggs, and brown sugar. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir with a spatula until fully combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough for each cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 ½ inches of space between each.
  7. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and no lumps remain, about 2 minutes.
  10. Add the powdered sugar and cinnamon to the bowl. Start mixing on low speed, then increase to medium. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  11. Spread about 1 ½ tablespoons of filling onto the flat side of half the cookies, then place another cookie on top and gently press to seal the whoopie pie.
