Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the maple syrup and beat until well incorporated.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until it begins to thicken.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Once the whoopie pie halves are completely cool, spread or pipe a generous amount of whipped cream filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies.
- Top with the remaining cookies, pressing gently to spread the filling to the edges.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy your spiced golden syrup whoopie pies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before you begin to make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to avoid overmixing, which can result in dense whoopie pies.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure that your whoopie pie halves are uniform in size.
- Be careful not to overbake the cookies; they should be soft and cake-like when done.
- Chill the heavy whipping cream and the mixing bowl before making the cream filling for best results.
- If you would like a stronger flavor, consider adding a bit more cinnamon or ginger to the batter.
Your spiced golden syrup whoopie pies are now ready to be enjoyed! These delightful treats are sure to impress with their perfect balance of spices and sweetness. Serve them at your next gathering, or enjoy them as a special homemade treat. Happy baking!
