WORLD'S BEST MAINE WHOOPIE PIES - AYUH



World's Best Maine Whoopie Pies - Ayuh image

Whoopie Pies are one of those comfort foods that make you want more than one. They just don't get any better. Though Whoopie Pies can be delicious any old way...the preferred way to have them is about 5-10 minutes out of the freezer. Tall glass of milk and one of these Whoopies...you will not have a care in the world! The frosting is phenomenal, but make sure you remember that when making it, it will look like a real mess until you've beaten it on high for at least five minutes. Sometime after that it will become like nothing you've seen or eaten. This makes a big batch and is easily halved.

Time 1h

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ cup vegetable shortening
2 cups milk
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Hershey's®)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Hershey's®)
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 cup milk
1 cup butter at room temperature
1 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 (7 ounce) jars marshmallow creme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut and set aside 25 pieces of plastic wrap about 5 inches square.
  • For cookies, beat 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening, 2 cups of milk, 2 cups of sugar, the eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk the 4 cups of flour with both amounts of unsweetened cocoa, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. Beat the flour mixture into the wet ingredients just until smooth.
  • Scoop up the batter by teaspoons, and drop onto ungreased baking sheets in small round dollops about 2 inches apart. Recipe should make about 50 cookies. The cookies will rise and expand a lot.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set in the middle, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheets for several minutes before removing to finish cooling on racks.
  • To make the filling, place 1 cup milk in a microwave-safe measuring cup, and cook in microwave until hot but not simmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the heated milk into a large mixing bowl. Add the cup of room temperature butter, 1 cup of vegetable shortening, 2 cups of sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and the marshmallow creme. Beat the mixture on high speed until the frosting is fluffy, 5 to 10 minutes. At first the frosting will appear lumpy, but keep beating.
  • To fill the cookies, choose 2 cookies that are about the same size, and spread about 1 1/2 tablespoon of the frosting onto the flat bottom of a cookie. Top with the other cookie, flat side down, and wrap the filled cookie in a sheet of plastic wrap. Place the filled cookie into the freezer. Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting, wrapping each whoopie pie in plastic wrap and freezing.
  • To serve, remove whoopie pies from the freezer and allow to thaw until very cold but not frozen, 10 to 15 minutes.

WHOOPIE PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 18 whoopee pies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup natural cocoa powder, such as Hershey's or Scharffen Berger
1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoons fine salt
18 large marshmallows, (not minis)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking sheet.
  • Put the unsweetened and semisweet chocolates and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl; heat at 75 percent power until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir, and continue to microwave until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
  • Whisk the sugar, eggs and vanilla into the chocolate mixture until smooth.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt into another bowl. Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until moistened. Switch to a rubber spatula and finish folding the batter together; take care not to over-mix.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the prepared pan. Repeat to make 36 cookies, spacing them about 1-inch apart. Bake until the cookies spring back when lightly touched, about 6 minutes.
  • Cool the cookies slightly. Transfer half of the cookies to a rack. Turn the remaining cookies on the pan over, so they lay flat side up. Place a marshmallow on top of each flipped cookie and return pan to the oven. Cook just until the marshmallow begins to soften and puff, about 3 minutes. Cool marshmallow topped cookies slightly, about 2 minutes. Top with the remaining cookies, pressing lightly to make sandwiches. Cool whoopee pies completely on wire racks. Serve.
  • Store in tightly sealed container for up to 1 week.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h7m

Yield 16 Whoopie Pies

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups sugar
1 cup butter
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups milk
Filling, recipe follows

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, or preheat a convection oven to 315 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, and eggs together until well combined. Add the oil and vanilla and beat again.
  • In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Add half of the dry mixture to the egg mixture and beat or stir to blend. Add 1 1/2 cups milk and beat again. Add the remaining dry mixture and beat until incorporated. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk and beat until blended.
  • With a large spoon, scoop out 32 circles of batter onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
  • Spread filling onto 16 circles and place remaining circles on top, to make 16 Whoopie Pies.
  • 1 1/2 cups shortening
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups marshmallow topping
  • Dash salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup milk
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine all ingredients except the milk and beat well. Add just enough milk to achieve a creamy consistency. Spread filling across cooled cookie circles.

Tips:

  • For a softer whoopie pie, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Do not over-mix the batter. Over-mixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Over-baking will make them dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from making the cookies soggy.
  • For a creamier filling, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • You can flavor the filling with any extract you like. Some popular flavors include vanilla, chocolate, and peppermint.
  • If you are using a buttercream filling, make sure to beat it until it is light and fluffy.
  • Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can also freeze the whoopie pies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Whoopie pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a variety of flavors and fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a whoopie pie that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give whoopie pies a try!
