Ingredients
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
- 1 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour*
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Maple Buttercream Filling
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 2 teaspoons maple extract
- 4 cups Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar

- Beat sugar and eggs 2-3 minutes or until pale in color. Add oil, pumpkin, and extract. Beat again.

- Use 1 1/2 tablespoons cookie scoop to drop batter onto prepared baking sheet. Bake 12-13 minutes. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Beat butter, salt, and maple extract until creamy. Add powdered sugar and heavy cream. Mix until combined. Increase speed and beat until light and fluffy.
- Use a piping bag and icing tip 12 to pipe frosting on 14 cookies. Top with remaining cookies. Store in a loosely sealed container at room temperature.
Imperial Sugar Insight
For a smooth and creamy buttercream frosting, all ingredients should be at the same temperature. If your liquid was not at room temperature, the mixture cannot homogenize and will take on a curdled appearance (become soupy looking). This is a sign that the mixture is still too cold. Rapidly stirring and gentle warming will emulsify the buttercream to a smooth and creamy consistency. Continue to mix while using a hair dryer on the outside of the mixing bowl until the perfect consistency is reached. For additional tips on how to make the perfect buttercream, watch our How to Fix a Broken Buttercream video.
