Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 egg
50g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
3 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
380g
1.50 cups buttermilk
340g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
170g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add vanilla and egg: Beat in the vanilla extract and the egg until well combined.
4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
6. Scoop the batter: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and spring back when lightly touched. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare the chocolate filling: While the cookies are cooling, place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Then, stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let the filling cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Once cooled, the filling should be thick enough to spread.
9. Assemble the whoopie pies: Once the cookies are completely cool, match them up in pairs based on size. Spread a generous amount of the chocolate filling on the flat side of one cookie, then place another cookie on top to make a sandwich.
10. Serve and enjoy: Serve the whoopie pies immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

- Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin. This helps with even mixing and a smoother batter.

- When measuring flour, spoon it into the cup and level it off with a knife to avoid packing in too much flour, which can lead to dense cakes.

- Use a cookie scoop to portion out equal amounts of batter for uniform whoopies.

- Chill the dough briefly before baking to help the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.

- Melt the dark chocolate gently by using a double boiler or microwaving in short intervals, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

- Allow the whoopie pies to cool completely before filling them with cream to prevent the cream from melting.

- Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week for a longer shelf life.

Chocolate & vanilla whoopies are a delicious and decadent treat that’s sure to impress. With rich chocolate filling sandwiched between soft vanilla cakes, they offer the perfect balance of flavors and textures. This recipe is not only easy to follow but also incredibly rewarding, guaranteeing that your efforts will be met with smiles and satisfaction. Happy baking!
