Chocolate Whoopie Pie

on


 Chocolate whoopie pies are a delicious dessert consisting of two soft, cake-like chocolate cookies sandwiched together with a creamy filling. Here's a recipe to make these delectable treats:

Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Cookies:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff or marshmallow creme

Instructions:

For the Chocolate Cookies:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in thirds, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should end up with about 24 cookies (12 sandwiched whoopie pies).

  7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they spring back when lightly touched. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

For the Filling:

  1. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.

  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to beat until the filling is smooth and well combined.

  3. Add the marshmallow fluff or creme and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.

To Assemble:

  1. Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of filling onto the flat side of one cookie.

  2. Place another cookie, flat side down, on top of the filling to create a sandwich.

  3. Repeat this process until all the whoopie pies are assembled.

  4. Serve and enjoy! You can store any leftover whoopie pies in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two or refrigerate them for longer storage.

These chocolate whoopie pies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and are perfect for sharing with friends and family. Enjoy!
