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.
KID SAFE WHOOPIE PIES
I could not find a kid safe (no raw eggs in filling) whoopie pie recipe anywhere until this one! Whenever we visit any Amish markets, I love buying whoopie pies, but was always worried about our 4 kids having them because of the raw egg whites. This filling is just as delicious and contains no eggs :) If you have never had or heard of whoopie pies, they are big soft chocolate cookies with creamy filling. I know...not a pie at all! These are great and kid friendly!

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients for the cake batter, as this will help the ingredients mix together more smoothly and evenly.
- Don't overmix the cake batter, as this will make the cakes tough.
- Chill the cake batter for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help the cakes rise evenly.
- Bake the cakes until they are just set in the center, as overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them, as this will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a plastic bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cakes.
- Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Kid-safe whoopie pies are a fun and easy treat to make with kids. They are perfect for birthday parties, bake sales, or just a special treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create delicious and festive whoopie pies that everyone will love.
