Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
  • Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  • While the cookies cool, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and marshmallow fluff to make the filling.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, spread the filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.

Notes

  • To prevent excessive spreading, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • You can freeze assembled Whoopie Pies for up to 2 months. Thaw before serving.
  • If you prefer, you can use store-bought marshmallow fluff or frosting as a shortcut.
