Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup gluten-free 1:1 baking flour (225 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • cup vegetable oil (150 grams)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar (150 grams, firmly packed)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (225 grams (100% pumpkin))

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free 1:1 baking flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix very well to combine.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until the dough is thoroughly combined and smooth.
  5. Drop batter by rounded tablespoon-sized scoops onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet, spacing scoops at least 2" apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet completely before filling.

Notes

- For the most intense pumpkin flavor, make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- If your batter seems too thick, resist the urge to add more liquid; it should be a scoopable consistency.
- Store leftover whoopie pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze the unfilled cookies for up to 2 months and fill just before serving.
