EASY WHOOPIE PIES
Steps:
- Make Classic Chocolate Cookie dough with 3 eggs and 3/4 teaspoon baking powder total; add 6 ounces melted semisweet chocolate with the eggs. Roll into balls and bake 6 to 8 minutes at 375 degrees; cool slightly. Flip over half the cookies, top each with a marshmallow and return to the oven to soften, 2 minutes. Top with the remaining cookies.
Tips:
- For a softer whoopie pie, cream the butter and sugar together for longer.
- If you don't have cake flour, you can make your own by adding 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the whoopie pies tough.
- Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from making the pies soggy.
- For a creamier filling, use a combination of butter and cream cheese.
- If you don't have any frosting, you can use a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and water.
- Whoopie pies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
