Result in the cookies: Preheat oven to 350 levels. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or perhaps a nonstick baking pad put aside.
Inside a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, sodium bicarbonate, cinnamon, ginger root, and cloves put aside. In another large bowl, whisk together oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add sugar and whisk until combined. Sprinkle flour mixture over pumpkin mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
Utilizing a small frozen treats scoop having a release mechanism, drop heaping tablespoons dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 1 " apart. Transfer to oven and bake until cookies are simply beginning to hack on the top along with a toothpick placed into the middle of each cookie arrives clean, about fifteen minutes. Let awesome completely on pan.
Result in the filling: Sift confectioner' sugar right into a medium bowl put aside. Within the bowl of the electric mixer fitted using the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth. Add cream cheese and beat until well combined. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla, beat just until smooth. (Filling can be created up to and including day ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate let stand at 70 degrees to melt before using.)
Assemble the whoopie pies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and hang aside. Transfer filling to some disposable pastry bag and snip the finish. When cookies have cooled completely, pipe a sizable dollop of filling around the flat side of 1 / 2 of the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing lower slightly so the filling spreads towards the fringe of the cookies. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and canopy with plastic wrap. Refrigerate cookies a minimum of half an hour before serving and as much as three days.
