Tips:
- Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the whoopie pies light and airy.
- Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the whoopie pies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the whoopie pies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the whoopie pies dry and crumbly.
- Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting and making the whoopie pies messy.
- Use a variety of fillings to create different flavors of whoopie pies. Some popular fillings include chocolate ganache, vanilla buttercream, and peanut butter frosting.
- Whoopie pies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Whoopie pies are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and bake sales.
