Cappuccino whoopies FAQ:
What is the ideal baking time for Cappuccino Whoopies?
Bake the whoopies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. They’re done when the edges are set and the tops are slightly golden.
How should I store leftover Cappuccino Whoopies?
Store leftover whoopies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
