Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. For the cakes, cream together the butter and vanilla bean seeds with the dark brown sugar. (Save the vanilla bean pod for another use.) Slowly drizzle the oil into the creamed mixture and continue to mix until smooth. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract and bitters until smooth. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients and add in three batches to the creamed mixture, alternating with the pumpkin puree. When the mixture is smooth, pipe or scoop out 1½-inch rounds onto parchment paper, and bake for 8 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cakes comes out clean. 3. Meanwhile, make the filling by creaming together the butter with the powdered sugar, orange zest and ginger. Add the cream cheese and mix until it comes together smoothly. 4. When the baked cookies are totally cool, sandwich them in twos around a generous. The filling recipe is generous, so use as much filling as you like.
