WHOOPIE PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the cakes: Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg, and vanilla and mix until combined, then mix in buttermilk. Slowly add dry ingredients, and mix just until combined.
• Scoop mounds of batter, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons in size (I use this ice cream scoop), onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Make the filling: Place all ingredients in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until creamy and fluffy. If the filling is too stiff, you can add a little heavy cream or milk.
• Assemble the cookies: Spread filling on the flat side of half the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing down slightly so that the filling spreads to the edge of the cookies.
• Store in the fridge, well covered, for up to a week. Serve at room temperature.

KEY LIME PIE WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Sift the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
• Beat the granulated sugar and butter together in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and beat until incorporated, then beat in the vanilla. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just incorporated. Cover and refrigerate the dough until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Position the oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Drop tablespoonfuls of batter about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets (about 6 cookies per baking sheet). (Keep the remaining batter chilled while working.)
• Bake until the cookies puff up and the tops are no longer glossy, about 7 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. Let the baking sheets cool, then reline with fresh parchment, lightly coat with cooking spray and bake the remaining batter.
• For the filling: Beat the confectioners' sugar, butter and cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add the marshmallow creme, milk, lime zest and juice and beat until light and airy, about 5 minutes.
• Spread a heaping tablespoon of the filling on half of the cookies. Sandwich with the remaining halves, pushing down slightly to move the filling to the edge.

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Whisk the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the pumpkin puree, scraping the bowl as needed. Beat in the flour mixture until just combined, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Scoop mounds of batter (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets; shape into rounds with damp fingers. (Or you can transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip and pipe into 1 1/2-inch rounds.) Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden and the tops spring back when gently pressed, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then carefully transfer to racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Stir the milk and instant coffee in a small bowl until the coffee dissolves. Beat the butter, confectioners' sugar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on low speed until combined, then increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until light and smooth, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low and beat in the milk mixture, scraping the bowl as needed, until smooth, about 1 minute. Refrigerate until slightly firm, about 20 minutes.
• Gently sandwich the filling (about 1 tablespoon per sandwich) between the cookies. Roll the edges in sprinkles. If the filling is soft, refrigerate the whoopie pies about 30 minutes, then let sit at room temperature before serving.

WHOOPIE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking sheet.
• Put the unsweetened and semisweet chocolates and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl; heat at 75 percent power until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir, and continue to microwave until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
• Whisk the sugar, eggs and vanilla into the chocolate mixture until smooth.
• Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt into another bowl. Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until moistened. Switch to a rubber spatula and finish folding the batter together; take care not to over-mix.
• Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the prepared pan. Repeat to make 36 cookies, spacing them about 1-inch apart. Bake until the cookies spring back when lightly touched, about 6 minutes.
• Cool the cookies slightly. Transfer half of the cookies to a rack. Turn the remaining cookies on the pan over, so they lay flat side up. Place a marshmallow on top of each flipped cookie and return pan to the oven. Cook just until the marshmallow begins to soften and puff, about 3 minutes. Cool marshmallow topped cookies slightly, about 2 minutes. Top with the remaining cookies, pressing lightly to make sandwiches. Cool whoopee pies completely on wire racks. Serve.
• Store in tightly sealed container for up to 1 week.

Top with the remaining cookies.

Steps:

• To make the cakes: Prepare mix as directed on package except using only 3/4 cup of water. Drop batter onto greased cookie sheet (or use parchment paper to line pan) in 2 1/2 to 3 inch circles. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool.
• To make the filling: In a saucepan, combine milk and flour and cook, stirring constantly until it forms a thick paste. Let cool.
• In a medium bowl, beat sugar and shortening until fluffy. Add vanilla. Add cooled flour mixture and beat until double in volume.
• Turn the little cakes over on their backs. Spoon a dollop of filling onto half of the little cakes. Place the other half of the cakes on top of the filling to form sandwiches.
