Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup blueberries

4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Position racks in the center and lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Make the cookies: Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.

Tips:

  • For a fun and colorful presentation, use a variety of sprinkles or nonpareils to decorate the whoopie pies.
  • If you don't have a whoopie pie pan, you can use a muffin pan lined with parchment paper. Just be sure to fill the muffin cups only halfway, as the batter will rise.
  • To make the filling ahead of time, simply prepare it according to the recipe and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to assemble the whoopie pies, just let the filling come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before spreading it on the cookies.
  • For a richer flavor, use homemade lemon curd instead of store-bought. You can find a recipe for lemon curd online or in most cookbooks.
  • Feel free to experiment with different flavors of jam or jelly in the filling. Raspberry, strawberry, and orange marmalade are all delicious options.

Conclusion:

These lemon blueberry whoopie pies are a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these whoopie pies a try!
