Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the apple cider and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Drop tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are set and lightly golden. Let them cool on a wire rack.
- For the caramel filling, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Once the cookies are cool, spread caramel filling between two cookies to create whoopie pies.
Notes
Ensure the cookies are completely cool before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
