Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Start with a third of the dry ingredients, mix until just combined, then add half of the milk, and repeat until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Use a cookie scoop or two spoons to drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each dollop.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, keeping an eye on them to ensure they are set but still soft in the center.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling by beating the softened butter in a medium bowl until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
- Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, mixing on medium speed until smooth and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Once the cookies are completely cool, take one cookie and spread a generous tablespoon of the filling on the flat side.
- Place another cookie on top of the filling, flat side down, and gently press down to spread the filling to the edges.
- Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling until all whoopie pies are assembled.
- Store the assembled whoopie pies in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a couple of days, but refrigerating them helps keep the filling nice and fluffy.
Notes
- For an extra touch, you can roll the edges of the filling in sprinkles or mini chocolate chips before serving.
- These whoopie pies can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a refreshing treat.
