Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda. In large bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, and beat to combine. Alternate adding flour mixture and buttermilk in small batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
- Mix until smooth, occasionally scraping sides of bowl. With a tablespoon, spoon mounds of batter 2 inches apart onto baking sheets and form into football shapes. SmartGrid® lines represent 1 inch squares to help you with precise spacing.
- Bake 15 minutes or until tops are puffed and cakes spring back when touched. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
- In medium bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat together butter, powdered sugar, marshmallow cream, and vanilla until smooth, about 3 minutes. Makes about 1 1/2 cups of filling. Spread a rounded tablespoon of filling on flat sides of half the cakes. Top with other cakes.
- To decorate your whoopie pies to look like footballs, cut two pieces of Reynolds KITCHENS® Plastic Wrap about 15 inches wide and criss-cross them over each other to form a large X. In the center of the X, scoop all of your remaining filling and then gather the sides to push the filling down into a ball. Very carefully poke a small hole into the bottom of this ball so that you can pipe the football laces onto your whoopie pies. The thickness of your laces will depend on how big of a hole you poke into the plastic wrap.

Tips:
- Use a Stand Mixer if Possible: A stand mixer will make the job of creaming the butter and sugar together much easier. You can also use a hand mixer, but it will take a bit longer.
- Chill the Dough Before Baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape better. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but the cookies may spread a bit more.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Cookies Until They Are Just Set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the Cookies Cool Completely Before Filling Them: This will help prevent the filling from seeping out.
- Store the Whoopie Pies in an Airtight Container at Room Temperature: The whoopie pies will keep for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Whoopie pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of filling options, there is sure to be a whoopie pie that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give whoopie pies a try!
