Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 whoopie pies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the brownie cookies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Once the brownie cookies are completely cool, pair them up based on size. Spread a generous amount of the peanut butter filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie, pressing gently to create a sandwich.
- Repeat the process until all whoopie pies are assembled. For an extra touch, you can drizzle melted white chocolate over the assembled whoopie pies or sprinkle with additional white chocolate chips.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy your delicious Reese's white chocolate brownie whoopie pies!
Tips
- • Make sure your butter is truly softened, but not melted, for the perfect cookie texture • Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized whoopie pies that look professionally made • Let cookies cool completely before filling to prevent the peanut butter from melting • For extra richness, chill the peanut butter filling for 10-15 minutes before assembling • If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk to achieve the right consistency • Use room temperature eggs for better ingredient integration • Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough cookies • For a fancy presentation, drizzle melted white chocolate over the finished whoopie pies
