Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, all-purpose flour, and dry cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil and sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Stir in the buttermilk until the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the grated apple and raspberries.
- Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies spring back when touched lightly.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the light sour cream, orange zest, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, match pairs of similar-sized cookies together.
- Spread a generous amount of the sour cream mixture on the flat side of one cookie from each pair.
- Press the flat side of the matching cookie on top to create a sandwich.
- Serve the whoopie pies immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Tips:
- Ensure that your buttermilk and eggs are at room temperature before you begin mixing. This helps in achieving a smoother batter.
- When grating the orange for zest, make sure to only grate the outermost layer of peel, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.
- Gently fold the raspberries into the batter to avoid crushing them, which will help maintain their shape and texture in the final product.
- Use an ice cream scoop or two spoons to evenly portion the batter onto the baking sheet for uniform Whoopie Pies.
- Allow the whoopie pies to fully cool before adding any filling, as this prevents the filling from melting and running out.
- Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and moist.
These Jaffa Raspberry Whoopie Pies are the perfect balance of fruity and chocolaty flavors. By following these steps, you can create a delicious and visually appealing dessert that's sure to be a crowd favorite. Enjoy your baking and the sweet rewards that come with it!
