Whoopie Pies!

IMG_2504

I just tried out a book that’s all about Whoopie Pies. One of the writers of the book (Amy) is also the editor of my book, Cake Pops. Amy sent me a copy to check out and I couldn’t be more excited for her.

I made and fell in love with these sugar-filled sandwiches. They are delish! They’re like little cakes shaped like cookies… (but pie-like… not so much.)

It’s funny… when I gave these treats away, everyone loved them, but no one knew what to call them. Everyone asked “What are they?” It made me wonder how common they are in other places. Have you made whoopie pies? Heard of them? Seen one out in the wild?

No worries if you haven’t. Now you can make your very own. The book is organized for easy reading.

IMG_2515

There’s a section devoted to cakes…

IMG_2516

And a section devoted to fillings. Great for mixing and matching and making whoopies.

IMG_2499

Lots and lots of whoopie.

IMG_2514

Yum!

IMG_2330

I decided to make the classic chocolate whoopie (big surprise) and paired it with peanut butter filling. The recipe called for dark brown sugar. I used this dark muscovado sugar instead because that’s all I had on hand. It made them extra tasty.

After you mix up the batter, drop it by spoonfuls on a parchment covered baking sheet.

IMG_2351

After they bake and cool for a few minutes carefully remove them from the parchment paper.

IMG_2355

Place them flat side up on a cookie rack. Then you can spoon the filling on…

IMG_2377

Or pipe it on.

IMG_2392

I like piping it on. It’s much more fun.

IMG_2403

And prettier to look at.

Sandwich the filling between two of the cakes.

And press gently. That’s it.

Whoo-hooo for whoopies. Now go make some.

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Ingredients

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

  • 1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup milk

Salty Peanut Butter Filling

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or crunchy)
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Whoopie Pies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together, flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat butter, shortening and sugar with a mixer on low until just combined. Increase speed to medium and beat for about 3 minutes.
  4. Add egg and vanilla and beat for two more minutes.
  5. Add half of the flour mixture and half of the milk and beat on low until incorporated. Repeat with remaining flour and milk and beat until combined.
  6. Using a tablespoon, drop batter on baking sheet two inches apart. Bake for about 10 minutes each or until pies spring back when pressed gently.
  7. Remove from oven and cool for about five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
  8. Peanut Butter Filling: Beat peanut butter and butter on low until creamy using a mixer. Add sugar and salt and beat on low to incorporate. Increase speed to medium and beat for about four minutes until the filling is light and fluffy. Spread filling on flat side on one cooled cake. Top it with a second cake and press gently.
  9. Store whoopie pies in an airtight container.

Notes

1 Tbsp of batter should make about 48 two-inch cakes or 24 pies.
2 Tbsp of batter should make about 30 four-inch cakes or 15 pies.

You can also roll the edges in sprinkles, chopped chocolate, nuts, etc. or in this case, peanut butter morsels.

Ummm… can I say these are just about the most fun things to eat. They’re so good you kinda feel like you’re being bad when you sink your teeth into them.

  5. I’ve heard of Whoopie Pies, I’ve eaten them and this book is sitting on my Amazon wish list! I’m keeping my fingers crossed. . .

  6. I actually won a baking contest this past December with my Fudgie Candy Cane Whoopie Pies. It was a fudgie brownie type cookie with a peppermint marshmallow filling & the I rolled the edges in crushed candy canes. They were SO yummy! I even beat out quite a few professional bakeries with my whoopie pies!

  7. Heard of them, never had one, would love to make them!

  14. My fiance makes these and they are so delicious!!!

  15. My kids and I love whoopie pies! We make the basic chocolate with chocolate or vanilla cream filling. We have even colored the filling to match school and holiday colors when the kids want to bring something different but still colorful to school. It would be great to have some new cakes and fillings to try.

  16. Haven’t made them yet – I’m afraid I will eat them all! Great addition of adding the chips to the frosting part – they look incredible!

  17. My daughter and I love pumpkin whoopie pies from our local bakery. I tried to make them myself last year around Thanksgiving and uh… yeah… it didn’t work out very well.. The chocolate ones with peanut butter filling sound fabulous!

  18. Never tried them, or heard of them…. but can’t wait to make some!

  19. I’ve made them many times and I just tried red velvet whoopie pies and they were a huge hit! I never ate a good one from a bakery though…they were all sort of dry/crusty on the edges due to being on display. I will stick to making them when I want a great treat!

  27. I made whoopie pies once. They were tasty, but the cakes were sticky on the outside and would lose their skin, as it were, when placed on a plate. Do you know how to avoid that?

  28. I’ve made the easy ones you have here, but now I’m intrigued about the other fillings. I think I’m going to have to make some new ones for the pot lucks that are coming up.

  29. I have heard of them…Rosie used to talk about her love for them on her talk show. I don’t think we have them in the Midwest. Looks like a fun cookbook, though!

  30. I haven’t ever heard of whoopies before, but they look like so much fun to make & would be perfect for a bridal shower I’m hosting soon…think whoopie pies at a bridal party, just sounds cute! :)

  91. I helped my friend make them once and it was so much fun and so delicious. i would love to make more and i never thought of making them in different flavor combinations! SO much fun!!!!

  92. I have heard of them. My neighbor made them for her sons graduation about 3 years ago. They were devine. Now our midwest grocery store Hy-Vee makes them. They had ones that looked like lemon the other day! YUM! That is the only place I know to buy them.

  94. Ive heard of them! The book looks amazing and YUMMY!

  95. For some odd reason I have not tried to make these before…maybe because they look somewhat difficult to make. But you make it look so easy! :) Maybe I will try this after all. I think I’ll try making the Classic chocolate and maybe invent my own filling like mint or something…yum! :) Cant wait.

  96. I always thought they were basically homemade sandwich cookies…I didn’t realize the cookies were more cake-like. Yum. I’d love to try them out!

  97. Whoopie Pies are very “big” here in Lancaster County, PA. There are all sorts of contests but I have never actually made them. They are readily available and almost silly to try.. But I’d love to try different recipes. I love the mini ones. Just a mouthful. They don’t seem as toxic to the diet. Hmmm, I wonder how they’d work on a stick?!!

  98. Well, I heard of them. I have eaten them, always wanted to make them. They sound and look so greattttt. I definately want to learn to make them.

  99. I have never made them, but a grocery store near us makes them. Yum!

  101. I have heard of them but I have never made them. They look really good and I would love to surprise my family with a new treat!

  102. I looooove whoopie pies but haven’t had them since I was a kid. The book looks awesome. I am going to have to get the book and make some myself. I am having a birthday party for my business in a few weeks and was just thinking of all the sweet treats I want to make. It’s a pink theme so I bet pink whoopie pies would be really fun!!

  103. These look delicious! Thanks for sharing.

  104. I have heard of Whoopie Pies, but have never tried them or made them, but I totally agree that I should try these little babies out soon!

  105. Oh my goodness! Have I ever heard of them! I used to take them in to school every year for my birthday. My mom made them, I used to help her, I’ve tried since and they didn’t come out quite right. I’m going to try again though. I’ve heard of this book and want to get it. The best place to get whoopie pie’s is in Belleville PA. Every Wed there’s a flea market and the Amish sell them. Peachey’s Market is a good place too.

    Did you know there’s a Whoopie Pie Festival in Lancaster, PA?

  106. I have never made whoopie pies or even eaten one. They look so delicious though. I think I may have to start making them!

  113. funny thing is, I’ve made them alot but had no idea that’s what they were called. We just called cookie sandwiches. My Grandma had a recipe but she didn’t write down a name with it.

  114. Never even heard of Whoopies! I am anxious to try them though! Will be a nice break from my current cupcake obsession! They look delicious!

  115. They look delicious! Never made them or tasted them but have seen many photos which makes your mouth water! I’ll put it on my list of to-do-sweets! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

    Tina

  116. I haven’t heard of these, but they look so yummy and would be so fun to make as gifts.

  117. I’ve heard of ‘whoopie’ pies, but have never seen it in person nor eaten one.

  118. I’d heard of Whoopies, but never tried them. A lot of my ‘southern’ friends droll over the mere mention so I think I should probably try them myself haha! The pictures of yours and from the book look amazing!

    ~Kelli @ Smidgens

  119. I first had whoopie pies at my aunt’s house in Maine…they are huge there! The best place to get them thought? Amish Country in Lancaster County, PA. I’ve made them too, but it’s hard to get them as perfect as those ones from PA yum!!!!

  120. I’ve heard of them, never ate them (although I think my hubby and the rest of my older family members have had them), and never made them…so I think I’ve been missing out on something yummy!

  121. Made them, ate them, love them!!!!

  122. Have I made them? YES! Chocolate and pumpkin ones. There’s more flavors than this? I must win this book!

  123. These look so fun to make!!!

  124. I haven’t heard of them before, but they do look good, and I would like to try my hand at them!

  125. Ohhh whoopie pies. My husband would be so excited if I could make more of these treats! I have made pumpkin whoopies and red velvet ones too.

  126. I just got a KitchenAid and I’m going to make TONS of baked goods to reward the friend who made them for me, and I’m thinking I have a new treat to try!

    I love how you expand my horizons when it comes to baked goods!!

  127. I think I’ve heard of them but I’m not sure where. They look yummy! I looked at the recipe and thought, “Hmmm… I have everything to make those right now!” But I shouldn’t. I really shouldn’t.

  128. I have never heard of them or seen them. I can’t wait to make them. They look so much similar to Macraoons. Thank you for sharing lady bakerella…. :-) you are the best. Have an awesome week.

  129. Whoopie for whoopie pies! Never tried or heard of these bad boys but they’re officially on my list of things to bake!

  130. I’ve only eaten them, not that I’m complaining or anything. I would love to try this book out!

  131. YUM!! I’m a Texan since birth and I’d never heard of them until some Yankee co-workers explained them to me. They’ve ordered them online and tried a few recipies (but the cakes always ended up too flat) so a recipe book would be perfect! I’d love to magically make some amazing Whoopie Pies and wink as I tell them I didn’t know what I was doing! LOL ;)

  132. I have 5 Whoopie pie recipes that I have printed off…. have yet to make them though! They look soooo yummy that I’m afraid to. I would eat the lot of them, I’m sure!

  133. This recipe looks amazing! I tired to make the marshmallow version for my mom’s birthday but could not find the marshmallow cream it called for in any store in my Toronto neighbourhood! Peanut butter I can do. I’ll pick up some marshmallow cream next time I’m in New England!

  134. I honestly can not say if I have ever had a Whoopie Pie. I have seen them being made on the Martha Stewart show and was very interested but never attempted. I have printed the recipe you gave us and do plan on making these real soon, they look so good. I would love to have a copy of the cookbook.
    Thanks for giving away a book.
    Have a great day.

  135. Yes I have made whoopie pies. The kids loved the filling made with fluff! A time honored tradition in our house! TFS, Mary M

  136. I LOVE them!! Yum!!!!

  137. I’ve never heard of them, but they look delicious!

  139. I’ve never made them and definitely want to try your chocolate and peanut butter whoopies. My mouth is watering!!!

  141. Never made them… but your blog has inspired me to make a few things already and I am sure I will try my hand at this very soon!

  142. They are one of my favorite cookies, but I can’t find homemade ones anywhere. I’ve been wanting to make them myself, but hadn’t found a recipe I wanted to try. Now I have…and the book would top it all off! Whoo HOO.

  143. I just saw them being sold at a local bakery in Chicago yesterday and commented to my cousin how I had not seen them in years. Then they popped up today in your post! Must be some kind of weird karma…!

  144. I’ve never heard of them before, but they sure look fun to make.

  145. Never heard of whoopie pies but I am going to try them!! I think it looks simple enough to bake with my kiddos and different enough for variety for school bake sales! :)

  146. Yum! Another thing I probably shouldn’t make, but will have to :)

  147. I haven’t made them but I am going to now! As for the best place to get them… I have to say Wicked Whoopies are definitely my favorite: http://www.wickedwhoopies.com/

  148. I’ve heard them called cream sandwiches, and they are mighty delicious.

  149. Sweet looking whoopies! They must be delicious! Know i only have to try one!:D

  150. Ooh, those look so good! Especially the peanut butter morsel ones. I must admit I’ve never made whoopie pies, but I definitely want to give it a whirl!

  151. I have never tasted a whoopie pie. I have seen them, though, wrapped in plastic at truck stops.

  152. Always wanted to try making them! They look wonderful!

  153. ive seen lots of them…but never actually tasted one…i know some one who makes red velvet whoopie pies…yum yum!!

  162. I’ve never made them but would love to try! They look so delicious :)

  163. I’ve never heard of them but i’d certainly
    like to try ’em out now!

  164. I’ve heard of them, never made them but would love to & think my aspiring baker daughter would LOVE to make them w/me. Very, very fun!

  165. I have heard of them, but I’ve never seen them anywhere, made them, or tried one. But I’m pretty sure I would be obsessed! They look amazing!!! :)

  166. oooh how fun! i’ve definitely heard of them, but never made them. i bet a nutella version would be amazing!

  167. I have never made whoopies, but I’ve heard the name…

  168. YES!! We love Whoopie Pies here in Columbus, Ohio! I was actually trying to find a receipe to try and make these and Moon Pies, how crazy is that?!?! Thank you, now I have to try it!!! I have to check out her book too!!!

  169. I love them, but have never made them…I cheat and buy the new Oreo cookie version that just came out, but now I have to try making them!

  170. I’ve never heard of them but they look yummy. Sort of like a Moon Pie minus the chocolate coating maybe?

  171. Yes, I’ve heard of them but my attempt at making them was a flop. Hopefully with this cookbook I can make a successful batch!

  173. Heard of them but I’ve never made them!
    They look so yummy!

  174. I’ve never made them before but I’ve had them only in a box. I bet they are AMAZING homemade!!!!

  175. I grew up eating Whoopie Pies in Maine and never new I loved them so much until I moved out of state and was not able to buy them in the store. I have made them several times since then and most eveyone has NEVER heard of them before but all enjoy them! Make sure you follow the directions and sifting is a must (I have also found that high humidity will make a whimpy whoopie)!

  176. From what I can tell, these are an Amish/Mennonite thing. They were all over Lancaster, PA, when I traveled there last year, and I just bought a Pumpkin Whoopie pie this weekend at my farmers’ market in Richmond, VA, from an Amish farm that travels there. And it was awesome!

  177. OMG.! These look delicious, I’ve never heard of whoppies before but how fun.! Cannot wait to make whoopies and cake pops this weekend.! Your site is hours or entertainment.!

  178. I’ve never heard of them….I would love to make them, though!!!

  179. My mom used to make whoopie pies when I was a little girl – they are delicious

  180. YES! I absolutely love whoopie pies. I’ve only made them once before, and after this post, I’m wanting to post them again!

  181. oh, my goodness! My husband grew up in western PA, and he grew up with homemade whoopie pies all around him. That is what the old ladies would sell in bake sales and church fundraisers, etc. But they didn’t call them whoopie pies, they call them gobs. And I’ve had a very hard time finding good recipes, so this would be fabulous.

  182. Whoopie Pies!! One of my favorite treats that my Grandma used to make! Can’t wait to try some for my own kids =0)

  183. I had never heard of them until we got a Trader Joe’s store and now I am addicted. Never made them, though!

  184. I’ve been making whoopie pies for years! Love them. Just got this book a few weeks ago too, so I’m excited to try out some of the combos.

    I’ve even been making some whoopie pie pops, check em out! The sticks hold up incredibly well in the thick yummy insides of the amazing whoopie pie!

  185. I’ve never heard of them, or had one…but I’d love to make some!! :)

  186. I have never made a whoopie pie, but I love to eat them! Once a year, my husband and I take a weekend trip to Kitchen Kettle Village in Lancaster, PA and they have home made whoopie pies that are to die for! It would be lovely if I could make them myself at home to enjoy year-round!

  187. I’d love to learn more about them!

  189. I have made what we call homemade Oreos, which are basically chocolate Whoopie pies. They are Delish!

  190. i’m drooling at my desk at these whoopie pies! i’ve never made them and can’t recall anyplace to get them– that needs to change ASAP and i need to conquer the whoopie this summer!

  191. Woopie! I’ve heard of them but have never had one. The cake looks super moist. I think I’ll try my hand at making them!

  192. I have never made whoopie pies, but I’d LOVE to! :) I’ve heard of them though! :)

  193. never made them but will try a peanut butter chocolate version tonight :-)

    i’m thinking to roll the edges in salty almond brittle, yum!

  194. I had the most amazing whoopie pie at Baked in Brooklyn. It was banana with the tastiest peanut butter filling.

  195. this looks so yummy! never had them before, but can’t wait to make them for my girls.

  196. I’ve made whoopie pies before – PUMPKIN ones! They were DELISH!

  197. I did make them once quite some time ago and they were WONDERFUL. My husband commanded me to make them again so I guess it is time!

  198. I remember eating these as a kid, my aunt made them but called them “black moons” they were delish!! I can’t wait to try making them now and trying out some different fillings!!

  199. I’ve never made them myself (they’re definitely on my soon-to-be-baked list), but my best friend’s mother has been making them for as long as i can remember, and they’ve always been one of my favorites!

  200. Wow…thanks for the recipe on these whoopie pies…My grandaughter will love them! We used to buy something similar to these at the store. They were called called moon pies so if you don’t mind this is what we are going to call the whoopie pies when i make them.
