Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg to the mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking soda, and all-purpose flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined after each addition.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies spring back when lightly touched.
- Allow the whoopie pies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the milk, and beat until the filling is spreadable. If the filling is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Once the chocolate whoopie pies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the peanut butter filling on the flat side of half of the cookies.
- Top with the remaining cookies, flat side down, to create sandwiches.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the assembled whoopie pies using a spoon or a piping bag.
- Allow the chocolate drizzle to set before serving (you can place the whoopie pies in the refrigerator for a few minutes to speed up the process).
- Enjoy your homemade Chocolate & Peanut Butter Whoopies with a glass of cold milk!
Tips:
- Ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature to achieve a smooth and creamy texture for both the batter and the filling.
- Use a cookie scoop or piping bag to get evenly sized whoopie pies for consistent baking.
- Allow the baked whoopie pie halves to cool completely before filling to prevent the filling from melting and oozing out.
- Store whoopie pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For extra decadence, drizzle the whoopies with melted dark chocolate or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Your homemade Chocolate & Peanut Butter Whoopies are now ready to be enjoyed! With their perfect blend of rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter filling, these whoopie pies are sure to become a favorite treat. Serve them at your next gathering or enjoy them as a delightful dessert after dinner.
