VANILLA WHOOPIE PIES WITH RASPBERRY CREAM FILLING

Yum! The whoopie pies are soft and moist. The cream inside is super yummy. It's sweet, but a tad tart from the raspberry jam. So good! We made the pies with 2 tbsp of batter as suggested and it made a larger whoopie pie. Great if you're sharing with someone or really in the mood for something sweet. You could easily cut it back...

1 jar(s) marshmallow creme; 7oz
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 c seedless raspberry jam (or more to your taste)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 325-350 degree depends on your oven. Grease your whoopie pan (I used hearts for Valentines Day) if you have them. You can also use a greased baking sheet.
2. For whoopie pie, beat butter, egg yolks, and sugar together until creamy. Add vanilla and milk; mix.
3. Add your dry ingredients and mix well.
4. Fill wells of pan with 2 tbsp of batter or drop onto a cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cakes.
5. Bake for approx 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned.
6. Let them cool on rack 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack.
7. For raspberry cream filling, in a mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add sugar and salt to butter; mix well.
8. Add marshmallow creme and vanilla; blend well.
9. Then add your raspberry jam and mix again. I also added a tad of pink food coloring to make it a bit pinker.
10. To assemble, take two pies and sandwich marshmallow creme/jam mixture inside. Hope you enjoy!!! :-)

Tips for Making Perfect Vanilla Whoopie Pies:

- **Use High-Quality Ingredients:** Opt for fresh, room-temperature ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture. Use real butter and pure vanilla extract for an authentic taste. - **Cream the Butter and Sugar Thoroughly:** This step is crucial for creating a light and fluffy batter. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are pale and fluffy, and the sugar has completely dissolved. - **Gradually Add the Eggs:** Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps prevent the batter from curdling. - **Do Not Overmix the Batter:** Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. - **Chill the Dough Before Baking:** Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven. - **Bake the Cookies Until They Are Set:** The cookies should be slightly firm to the touch but still soft in the center. Overbaking can dry them out. - **Let the Cookies Cool Completely:** Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling them. This helps prevent the filling from making the cookies soggy. - **Use a Generous Amount of Filling:** Don't be shy with the filling! A generous amount of filling will make your whoopie pies extra delicious and decadent. - **Chill the Whoopie Pies Before Serving:** Chilling the whoopie pies helps the filling set and makes them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Vanilla whoopie pies are a classic American treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors of filling. With a few simple tips, you can create perfect vanilla whoopie pies that will be a hit with everyone who tries them.
