Time 42m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 and 3/4 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
2/3 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 and 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick/115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk, room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick/115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 cups Marshmallow Fluff
1 cup (115 g/4 oz.) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Make the cakes: Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg, and vanilla and mix until combined, then mix in buttermilk. Slowly add dry ingredients, and mix just until combined.
  • Scoop mounds of batter, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons in size (I use this ice cream scoop), onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Make the filling: Place all ingredients in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until creamy and fluffy. If the filling is too stiff, you can add a little heavy cream or milk.
  • Assemble the cookies: Spread filling on 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.
  • Store in the fridge, well covered, for up to a week. Serve at room temperature.

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.
