Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Slowly mix in the apple cider.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually mix into wet ingredients.
  5. Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers spring back when pressed.
  7. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust consistency with milk.
  9. Spread cream cheese frosting onto one flat side of a whoopie pie and top with another pie.
  10. Optionally roll the edges in a sugar and cinnamon mixture before serving.
