I can't stop thinking of these things, I want to try them in EVERY flavour imaginable!!
What other flavour can I do these in?
My husband does not like chocolate. (I know...strange. And I married him? Yes, a good man....a keeper. One small strike against him, he doesn't like chocolate.).
His favourite flavour? Vanilla.
Okay, so I search vanilla whoopies via Google. This was before I discovered Food Gawker.
And this site, pops up. I LOVE blogs! Reading everyone's stories.
The blog with the amazing looking Vanilla Whoopie?

This cookie is reversed. Chocolate is on the Inside!!! Vanilla is the cake/cookie.
I think I might like this better.
Everyone did like this. I liked the original whoopie pie better. Oh well...I still love Whoopie.
Vanilla Whoopie Pies
Cookies: 2 cups + 2 Tbsps all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vinegar
2 tsp vanilla extract
*Preheat 375F. Line cookie sheets with Sil-Pat or with parchment paper.
*Whisk the flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Set aside.
*In a separate large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy and light.
*Add eggs and buttermilk and beat until combined.
*In a small bowl, combine milk, baking soda and vinegar.
(Stir this mixture into the butter/sugar/egg batter).
*Add the flour mixture.
*Beat on low speed until just incorporated.
*Stir in vanilla extract and give the batter one final stir to make sure no lumps remain.
* Drop batter by Tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing 2-inches apart.
* Bake for 10-12-minutes OR until the whoopies spring back when touched gently.
* Let the cookies cool on the cookies sheets for 5-minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Ganache: 8-ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp butter
*Place the chocolate and butter in a heat-proof bowl.
*Heat the heavy cream in a small pot (or in the micowave for 45 seconds to a minute) until it begins to bubble.
*Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, stir once, and then let the mixture sit for 5-minutes so that the chocolate can melt.
*Stir until smooth and then let the mixture cool completely to thicken.
***Please Note: I always use Salted Butter and then omit the salt in the recipes.
Please do what you feel is best.
