Pumpkin Gobs (Whoopie Pies)

I realized that I have been neglecting to post any recipes about gobs! So here's my fix to that problem. This recipe comes from a website claiming to have the original recipe from Wicked Whoopie Pies. That's the company in Maine my husband & I found when on our honeymoon two years ago.

1 teaspoon ginger
3 cups all-purpose flour

Cream cheese filling
6 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons marshmallow cream
2 teaspoons water (I used vanilla instead)

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Beat pumpkin, eggs, oil and brown sugar together until fluffy.
3. Combine dry ingredients together. Then add molasses and dry ingredients to your mix until well blended.
4. Scoop large rounded spoonfuls of batter onto a greased cookie sheet and space at least 2-inches apart.
5. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until done.
6. Filling: Add all ingredients in a bowl and beat until fluffy.
