Time 1h

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (spooned and leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Orange nonpareils or sanding sugar, for decoration

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat until smooth. With mixer on low, alternately add flour mixture and applesauce, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix just until smooth (do not overmix).
  • Drop dough by heaping tablespoons, 2 inches apart, onto two baking sheets. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cookie comes out clean, 10 to 14 minutes. With a thin metal spatula, immediately transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make filling: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat vanilla and remaining 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add confectioners sugar, beating until smooth.
  • Spread bottom of half the cookies with 1 tablespoon filling each; sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing gently so filling oozes out slightly. Sprinkle exposed filling with nonpareils. Let rest 15 minutes to set.

I thought these whoopie pies were just average. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I would not recommend this recipe. The whoopie pies were bland and the frosting was grainy.

I was disappointed with these whoopie pies. They were too sweet and the frosting was too thick. I won't be making them again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my whoopie pies didn't rise as much as I expected. They were still tasty, but they weren't as fluffy as I wanted.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my whoopie pies didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were a bit dry and the frosting was too sweet.
