Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the pumpkin puree and beat until well combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or a small scoop, drop batter onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the filling, in a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, beat the powdered sugar and marshmallow fluff until smooth.
Fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow mixture until combined.
To assemble the whoopie pies, spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.
Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
