Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup (114g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup (250ml) milk
1/2 cup (114g) unsalted butter, softened
4 cups (500g) powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3-4 tbsp milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until well combined. Gradually add in the milk, scraping the bottom of the bowl as needed. The batter might curdle, but don't worry, it will come together when you add the dry ingredients.
  • Slowly add dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Using a 1-oz cookie or ice cream scoop, drop the batter onto the prepared baking pan 2″ apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla, one cup of powdered sugar, and one tbsp of milk. Mix well. Add the remaining powdered sugar, one cup at a time, alternating with 1 tbsp of milk at a time. Add in the last tbsp of milk if needed for the desired consistency.
  • Transfer buttercream to a disposable pastry bag and snip the end. When cookies have cooled completely, pipe the buttercream onto 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.

Categories     Dessert

Time 53m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (45 g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick, 113 g) unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
1 cup (200 g) packed light brown sugar
1 large egg (at room temperature)
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk ( at room temperature)
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks, 170 g) unsalted butter (softened)
1 ½ cups (170 g) powdered sugar
1 ½ Tablespoons heavy cream
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prep oven and pans. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper (or silicone baking mats). Set aside.
  • Combine dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder. Whisk in the baking soda, salt, and espresso powder (if using). Set aside.
  • Cream butter and brown sugar. In a large bowl with an electric mixer (hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment), cream together the butter and brown sugar together for 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined.
  • Add egg and vanilla. Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  • Alternate dry ingredients and buttermilk. Starting and ending with the dry ingredients, alternate the flour mixture in 3 additions, with the buttermilk in 2 additions. Mix in until just combined with each addition. Be careful to not overmix at this point.
  • Scoop the cookies Using a 1 ½-tablespoon cooking scoop, scoop the whoopie pie batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each one. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the batter for each whoopie pie before placing them in the oven.
  • Bake. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies spring back to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer the chocolate cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the frosting. In your stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer beat the butter for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar, about a ½ cup at a time, mixing on low speed, in each addition until well combined.
  • Add remaining frosting ingredients. Add in the heavy cream and vanilla extract and mix on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium-high and continue mixing for about 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Assemble the whoopie pies. Pair up the whoopie pies according to size. Once the cookies have cooled, pipe on the vanilla frosting onto a flat side of one cookie. I pipe just enough so there's a border of cookie, to give the frosting room when I press the two cookies together. Top with a second cookie to make a "sandwich" by gently pressing the two cookie rounds together and pressing the frosting to the edge. Continue assembling the rest of the whoopie pies.

WHOOPIE PIES



Whoopie Pies image

We prefer Droste brand Dutch-process cocoa for this recipe because it gives the cakes a richer chocolate flavor. Though whoopie pies can be served on the same day they're made, we think the cakes are much better a day after baking.

CASSIS FILLING



Cassis Filling image

Use this recipe to make Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Cassis Filling.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon creme de cassis
7 to 8 drops purple liquid food coloring (optional)
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 to 3 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together cream cheese and butter on medium speed until mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down bowl with a spatula. Add creme de cassis, food coloring, and salt; mix on low for 30 seconds.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar; beat for 30 seconds. Scrape down bowl. If consistency is too soft to hold its shape, add additional confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the whoopie pies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the whoopie pies hold their shape.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting.
  • Use a variety of fillings to create different flavor combinations. Some popular options include buttercream, ganache, cream cheese frosting, and fruit preserves.
  • Decorate the whoopie pies with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or other toppings.

Conclusion:

Chocolate whoopie pies with cassis filling are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
