Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Coarse Kosher Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Instant Espresso Powder (optional)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 cup Full-Fat Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Meringue Powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Extra Coarse Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Additional Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder (if using).
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined.
  5. Scoop the Batter: Portion out small mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
  6. Bake: Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they spring back when touched.
  7. Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Make the Filling: Beat together softened butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Mix in meringue powder, extra salt, and additional vanilla extract.
  9. Assemble the Whoopie Pies: Spread a generous amount of filling on one cookie and top with another cookie, repeating until all cookies are filled.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Chocolate Whoopie Pies are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored for later.

Notes

Baking time may vary depending on your oven. Ensure cookies are completely cool before adding filling to prevent melting.
