Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Whoopie Pies:
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup milk

    For the Filling:

    • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
    • 16 ounces marshmallow fluff
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven & Prepare Dry Ingredients:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Make the Batter:
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Shape & Bake:
    Using a level tablespoon, drop batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop. Bake for 8 minutes or until set. Let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Prepare the Filling:
    In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  • Assemble the Whoopie Pies:
    Using the same size scoop, dollop or pipe filling onto the flat side of one cake and top with another cake to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cakes and filling.

Notes

  • Let the batter rest for better consistency before baking.
  • Store whoopie pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For an extra indulgent treat, roll the edges of the filling in mini chocolate chips or sprinkles!
