For a deeper ginger flavor, add a pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg to the batter. Ensure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for a smooth and creamy filling. Store the assembled whoopie pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, molasses, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Add the vegetable oil and beaten egg, mixing until just incorporated. Gradually pour in the boiling water while whisking continuously until the batter is smooth. (10 minutes)
03
StepUsing a 1-ounce cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each mound. (5 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until the whoopie pies are puffed up and lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (20 minutes)
05
StepWhile the whoopie pies are cooling, prepare the filling. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, and softened butter on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to high and beat until the filling is light and fluffy. Gradually add heavy cream until desired consistency is achieved. Stir in the vanilla extract. (10 minutes)
06
StepOnce the whoopie pies are completely cool, spread about 2 teaspoons of filling onto the flat side of one whoopie pie. Top with another whoopie pie, flat-side down, to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining whoopie pies and filling. (15 minutes)
07
StepChill the assembled whoopie pies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. (30 minutes)
