How to Make Classic Whoopie Pies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, mixing gently. Add milk as needed for consistency.
  5. Spoon rounded tablespoons of batter on prepared sheets, leaving space in between. Bake for approximately 10 minutes.
  6. Cool cookies completely on a wire rack.
  7. Whip together powdered sugar, marshmallow fluff, butter, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  8. Fill one cookie with marshmallow filling, top with another cookie, and gently press down.

Notes

Dust finished pies with cocoa powder or powdered sugar for an elegant touch. Allow cookies to cool completely before filling.
