Instructions
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper so nothing sticks. You wanna be ready before the batter is even mixed.
- In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. This is your dry mix that gives the cookies their structure and rich color.
- Next grab another bowl and cream together butter and sugar. It should get light and fluffy, kinda like a cloud you wanna dive into.
- Then you add in the egg and vanilla, beating until everything's blended smooth. This wet mix is what binds and flavors all the dry stuff.
- Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones till you see no flour streaks left. Don't overmix though, or your cookies get tough.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter onto your lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart. They spread just enough so they don't bump into each other but get soft edges.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Look for edges that are set but centers still soft — that's the sweet spot. Let the cookies cool completely before you do anything else.
- Now for the good part. Spread marshmallow fluff on the flat side of one cookie and press another cookie on top to make your whoopie pie.
- Then whisk powdered sugar with milk to make a glaze and drizzle that over your pies.
Notes
Store your whoopie pies in an airtight container at room temp if you plan to eat them within a couple days. If you gotta keep ’em longer, pop the container in the fridge to keep that marshmallow fluff firm and fresh.
