CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER WHOOPIE PIES



Chocolate-Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies image

This recipe is a great excuse to give that convection setting a try if your oven has one. On convection, an internal fan continually circulates the hot air. Since the air all around the food is a consistent temperature, multiple trays of food will cook evenly. Rotating the sheets becomes unnecessary and all the food bakes up faster and more uniformly. A conventional oven will still work well for this recipe - just bake one sheet at a time.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12 pies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
3/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the cakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, or 325 degrees F on the convection setting. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat to combine. Beat in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with additions of the buttermilk, starting and ending with flour mixture.
  • Scoop the batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto three parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart. With the back of a cookie scoop or a spoon, shape the scoops of batter into neat circles. Bake until the cakes spring back when gently pressed in the center, 15 to 18 minutes. Slip the parchment with the cakes still on it onto cooling racks. Let the cakes cool completely on the parchment.
  • For the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar and the salt and beat on low until smooth. Chill the filling for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully lift the cakes off of the parchment. Spread about 3 tablespoons of filling on a flat side of half of the cakes. Top with the remaining cakes, flat-side down.

THE ULTIMATE PEANUT BUTTER WHOOPIE PIE



The Ultimate Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie image

Based on a recipe from my Treasury of Home Baking cookbook. I collect whoopie pie recipes now that I live in Maine and love to bake. Using non-fat milk as the only substitute I made, these calculate to 9 PointsPlus (Weight Watchers) per pie; for those of us who are tracking points, I'd suggest eating only a third or a half of a cookie; it's better than none at all! Prep and cook times do not include cooling times. Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 30 pies

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 crisco baking sticks butter flavor shortening or 1/2 cup butter flavor shortening, plus additional for greasing
1 cup nonfat milk (recipe calls for whole milk)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup water, boiling
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup nonfat milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 crisco baking sticks butter flavor shortening or 1/2 cup butter flavor shortening

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F Prepare baking sheet by greasing with shortening. Prepare countertops for cooling pies by lining with sheets of foil.
  • PIES:.
  • In small microwavable bowl, mix together 1 cup milk and vinegar. Microwave at HIGH to warm slightly (you may also achieve this in a small saucepan on a stove top on medium heat). Mixture will appear separated and curdled.
  • In large bowl combine granulated and brown sugars, and crunchy peanut butter. Beat at medium speed with electric mixer until crumbly.
  • Add ½ cup shortening to 2-cup glass measure. Pour boiling water over and stir to melt shortening. Add to peanut butter mixture along with milk mixture and vanilla. Beat at low speed. Mixture will appear very fluid and a tad separated.
  • Combine 4 cups flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir well. Add all at once to peanut butter mixture. Beat at low speed until mixture is blended and resembles thick cake batter. Allow to stand 20 minutes. Drop by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in upper half of oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until set TAKING CARE NOT TO OVERBAKE. Allow to cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Transfer pies to foil and cool completely.
  • FILLING:.
  • Combine ½ cup milk and 3 tablespoons flour in small saucepan. Cook and stir on medium heat until thickened. Allow to cool completely. Transfer to medium bowl and add confectioners' sugar, ½ cup shortening, creamy peanut butter and vanilla. Beat at low speed until blended. Beat at high until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use. Spread filling on bottom halves of pies. Top with remaining pie halves. Press together gently.

Tips:

  • For the perfect whoopie pie, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the batter to come together smoothly and evenly.
  • If you don't have a whoopie pie pan, you can use a muffin tin instead. Just be sure to grease the muffin cups well before filling them with batter.
  • Don't overfill the whoopie pie batter into the prepared pan. Fill each cavity about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the cakes from overflowing and creating a mess.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cakes should be slightly springy to the touch.
  • Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting and making a mess.
  • For the perfect peanut butter filling, use a creamy peanut butter that is not too runny. If your peanut butter is too runny, add a little bit of powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If you don't have time to make the peanut butter filling from scratch, you can use a store-bought peanut butter frosting instead.
  • To make the whoopie pies extra special, you can decorate them with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Whoopie pies are a delicious and fun treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, picnics, and bake sales. With a little bit of effort, you can make whoopie pies that are both beautiful and delicious. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
