Whoopie Pies [Recipes]

[Update: I added two new photos below so you can see what the cookies look like when you bake them.]

This Valentine’s Day make some whoopie . . . pies.

Happy Valentine’s Day Y’all!  In honor of this most chocolatey of holidays I thought I’d share this Whoopie Pie recipe.  It involves a cake-like cookie and a yummy frosted filling – both fun to make and eat! Before you start making whoopie, this is what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Cookie Part:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter at room tempature
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 and a half teaspoons of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa poder
• 1 cup of milk
• 2 cups of all purpose flour

For the Filling

• 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter at room temperature
• 3 cups of confectioner’s sugar
• 2 cups of Marshmallow Fluff
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

1. First preheat your oven to 375 degrees and lightly spray two cookie sheets.

2. In a large bowl, beat the butter sugar, baking soda, and baking powder until light.  Then mix in the egg, vanilla, and cocoa.  Then add the milk and flour and beat until smooth.  It should look something like this.

2. Drop tablespoonfuls of the batter on your cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.

3. Bake in the center of the oven for 7-8 minutes. Set aside and let them cool.

4. To make the filling, combine the butter, sugar, marshmallow cream, and vanilla until smooth.

5. To make the whoopie pies, spread about 2 tablespoonfuls of the filling on the bottom of one cookie, and sandwich it with another cookie.

When making whoopie, it’s never a bad idea to give a little squeeze!

6. Repeat with the rest of the cookies.

I hope you enjoyed watching me make whoopie pies!

Makes about 8 small pies, and 5 large pies.
