Serves 6 | Prep Time 20 mins PT20M | Cook Time 10 mins PT30M | DessertWhy I Love This Recipe
Whoopie pies are a very light and fluffy, sweet dessert. I have only had them a couple times in my life but I would love to make them again sometime.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 cup white sugar
½ cup shortening
2 eggs, separated, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¾ cup shortening
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
Make the cookies: Beat sugar, shortening, and egg yolks together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; add to shortening mixture in batches, alternating with milk, beating briefly after each addition until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes; transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely
Make the filling: Beat confectioners' sugar, shortening, reserved egg whites, and salt together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla.
Choose 2 cookies of the same size; spread a thick layer of filling on the flat side of one cookie; top with remaining cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting.
