Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 whoopie pies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add milk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are set and slightly springy to the touch.
- 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, whip the marshmallow fluff until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of marshmallow fluff on the flat side of one cookie.
- Sandwich with another cookie, gently pressing to create a whoopie pie.
- Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized cookies that bake evenly.
- Let cookies cool completely before adding marshmallow filling to prevent melting.
- For extra indulgence, try adding a sprinkle of cocoa powder or mini chocolate chips to the marshmallow filling.
- Store whoopie pies in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their perfect shape.
- For best flavor and texture, consume within 2-3 days of baking.
