Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Position racks in the center and lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Make the cookies: Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.

Tips:

  • For a light and fluffy texture, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use 1 teaspoon of bottled lemon juice.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the whoopie pies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the whoopie pies hold their shape.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting.
  • For a smooth and creamy filling, make sure to beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar and lemon zest to the filling gradually, beating well after each addition.
  • Use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to fill the whoopie pies. This will help you create a neat and even filling.
