Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
3/4 cup brown sugar
170g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 egg
50g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
310g
1.50 cups buttermilk
340g
1/2 cup cream cheese
120g
1/3 cup peanut butter
72g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1 tsp milk (1% fat)
5g
1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Make the Chocolate Whoopie Pie Batter:
- 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.
3. Shape and Bake the Whoopie Pies:
- 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.
4. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 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.
5. Assemble the Whoopie Pies:
- 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.
6. Add the Chocolate Drizzle:
- 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.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- 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.
