To make these Gingerbread Whoopie Pies, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cookies:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 large egg

For the filling:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses and egg, and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly browned. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, and mix until well combined.
To assemble the whoopie pies, spread a generous amount of filling onto the flat side of one cookie, and then top with another cookie, flat side down. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
These Gingerbread Whoopie Pies are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, with a soft and chewy texture that will leave you wanting more. They are a great dessert to serve at holiday parties or to enjoy as a special treat with your loved ones.
