Ingredients

Vegetable oil or butter for greasing the baking sheets (optional)

1/2 cup plus 1 T all-purpose flour

3/4 cup plus 1 T cake flour

1/2 t baking soda

1 t baking powder 1/2 t salt

9 T (1 stick + 1 T unsalted butter at room temperature

1/2 cup + 2 T light brown sugar, lightly packed

7 T granulated sugar

2 and 1/2 t ground cinnamon

2 t ground nutmeg

3/4 t ground allspice

1/2 t ground cloves

1/2 t ground ginger

1 t vanilla extract

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 and 1/2 T molasses

1/2 cup + 2 T canned unsweetened pumpkin puree

1/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them with butter.

Make the cookies: sift both flours, the baking soda, baking powder, and salt together into a small bowl and set aside.

Cream the butter, both sugars, the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, ginger and vanilla together in a medium-size bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, aobut 1 and 1/2 minutes.  Stop the mixer twice to scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, and scrape the bowl again at the end.

Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, blending on medium speed for about 10 seconds after each addition.  Add the molasses and pumpkin, and mix on medium-low speed until well blended, about 10 seconds.  Scrape the bowl.  Add the buttermilk and blend for 5 seconds.

Fold in the flour mixture by hand with the spatula.  Then, turn the mixer to lowo speed and mix for about 5 seconds.  Give th ebatter a stir or two with the spatula.

Drop the batter by generously rounded tablespoons aobut 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.  Bake the cookies until they are risen and firm to the touch, but not crusty, about 12 minutes.  Using a metal spatula, carefully transfer the cookies to racks to cool completely.

While the cookies are cooling, make the filling: place the butter, marshmallow creme, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a small bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the sugar is absorbed, 15 to 20 seconds.  Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, turn the mixer to medium-high, and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, 3 minutes.  Stop the mixer twice to scrape the bowl.

When the cookies are completely cool, use a metal spatula to turn half of them upside down.  Spread each upside-down cookie with a heaping teaspoon of filling.  Top them with the remaining cookies.

Marshmallow filling: 8 T (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

3 T marshmallow cream

1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted, 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
