CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER WHOOPIE PIES



Chocolate-Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies image

This recipe is a great excuse to give that convection setting a try if your oven has one. On convection, an internal fan continually circulates the hot air. Since the air all around the food is a consistent temperature, multiple trays of food will cook evenly. Rotating the sheets becomes unnecessary and all the food bakes up faster and more uniformly. A conventional oven will still work well for this recipe - just bake one sheet at a time.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12 pies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
3/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the cakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, or 325 degrees F on the convection setting. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat to combine. Beat in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with additions of the buttermilk, starting and ending with flour mixture.
  • Scoop the batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto three parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart. With the back of a cookie scoop or a spoon, shape the scoops of batter into neat circles. Bake until the cakes spring back when gently pressed in the center, 15 to 18 minutes. Slip the parchment with the cakes still on it onto cooling racks. Let the cakes cool completely on the parchment.
  • For the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar and the salt and beat on low until smooth. Chill the filling for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully lift the cakes off of the parchment. Spread about 3 tablespoons of filling on a flat side of half of the cakes. Top with the remaining cakes, flat-side down.

Yield Makes 18 Cookie Sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt into a small bowl; set aside.

Beat together, scraping down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • Drop 12 slightly rounded tablespoons of batter 2 inches apart on each baking sheet. Bake the cookies in the upper and lower thirds of oven, 10 minutes; switch the positions of the baking sheets, and rotate each one. Continue baking until the cookies spring back to the touch, 2 to 4 minutes more.
  • Remove from oven; let cookies cool on baking sheets, 10 minutes.Transfer with a metal spatula to a wire rack; let cool completely. Meanwhile, line a cooled baking sheet with a new piece of parchment; repeat process with remaining batter.
  • Spread 1 scant tablespoon buttercream on flat sides of half the cookies.Top each with one of the remaining cookies, flat side down, and gently press together. Transfer pies to a tray.
  • Melt half the chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat; add remaining chocolate, and stir until melted and smooth. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a plain round tip (Ateco #2 or #3) or a small parchment cone. Pipe chocolate in a spiral pattern on top of each pie. Let chocolate set before serving, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give your whoopie pies a smooth and velvety texture. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can blend it in a food processor until it is smooth.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the whoopie pies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set: Overbaking will dry out the whoopie pies and make them crumbly. When a toothpick inserted into the center of a whoopie pie comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, they are done.
  • Use a generous amount of filling: Don't be stingy with the filling! A thick layer of filling between the whoopie pies will make them extra delicious.
  • Chill the whoopie pies before serving: Chilling the whoopie pies will help the filling set and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter whoopie pies are a classic American treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a hit with kids and adults alike. With their soft, cakey texture and creamy peanut butter filling, these whoopie pies are sure to be a favorite in your home.
