Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups Marshmallow fluff (for filling)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1 cup Confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until combined.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry flour mixture and buttermilk to the wet mixture in three batches, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Use a medium cookie scoop (or a rounded tablespoon) to drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies spring back when gently touched. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
While the pies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, use a mixer to whip the marshmallow fluff and softened butter together until smooth.
Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract, beating on medium speed until the filling is fluffy.
To assemble the whoopie pies, spread a generous layer of filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie, flat sides facing in. Press gently to create a sandwich.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
