Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are best, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the whoopie pies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the whoopie pies hold their shape.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the whoopie pies dry. Bake them until they are just set, and then remove them from the oven.
  • Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them: This will help prevent the filling from melting.
  • Use a variety of fillings: You can use any type of filling you like in your whoopie pies. Some popular fillings include buttercream, cream cheese frosting, and jam.
  • Decorate the whoopie pies as desired: You can decorate the whoopie pies with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or even edible flowers.
