Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add large eggs one at a time, mixing well, then add apple cider and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Drop rounded balls of dough on baking sheets, leaving space between each one.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft; let cool.
  8. Prepare caramel filling by melting butter, then stir in brown sugar and heavy cream, boiling until thickened.
  9. Assemble whoopie pies by spreading caramel filling between two cookies.
