Let's talk Whoopies.
I LOVE baking Whoopies.
Why?
Because the presentation looks amazing and so is the taste!
The compliments I receive makes me feel like I have really did something wonderful.
I shouldn't take the credit.
The Whoopies should take the credit.
I strive to try all the flavours of Whoopies out there.
The list is endless.
What did I choose to bake?
Chocolate-Chip Whoopie.
Were they good?
You know the answer to that question already.
Yes.
I wasn't too happy with the filling but others didn't complain.
The thing with Whoopies though, all that work and it yields 12 Whoopies.
I used a Tbsp scoop to scoop out the batter.
My Whoopies never come out perfectly shaped.
I am not complaining.
They were gone in a flash.
I got a bite.
Well, really, they weren't for me.
I made them for my friend and her family.
I am told they liked it.
They could have lied, but I don't think so.
Bake these and let me know.

Chocolate-Chip Whoopie-Pie Cookies
Cookie: 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup Mini-Chocolate-Chips (Semi-Sweet)
*Preheat oven to 350F.
Line the baking sheet/pan with either parchment paper or Sil-Pat Mat. Set aside.
*In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
*Beat together the butter and sugar on medium-speed until light and fluffy.
*Mix in milk, egg, and extract.
*Switching to low-speed add the flour mixture. Mix together until all is incorporated.
*Add the chocolate chips. Stir together.
*Using either a Tbsp or tsp scoop, scoop out the batter onto the prepared baking sheets/pans.
Space them 1-inch apart.
*Bake for approx. 12-minutes (depending on your size of cookie) or
until you touch the tops with your finger and it springs back. Watch them.
*Let sit on baking sheet/pan for approx. 1-minute.
*Transfer to a wire-rack to cool.
Make sure cookies are cool before filling and assembling them.
Filling: 1 cup Mini-Chocolate-Chips (semi-sweet)
1 cup Marshmallow Fluff (or Crème)
2 Tbsps butter, softened
*To melt the chocolate-chips you can either melt via microwave or stove-top (I prefer this method).
Microwave: Using a microwave safe bowl, place the chips uncovered, on High-for-30-seconds,
stop, stir, and continue to microwave every 10-seconds until melted. Stir before starting the microwave again. Let cool for 1-minute.
Stove-Top: Using a small saucepan, place the chocolate-chips in the saucepan, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and set aside. Let cool for 1-minute.
*Add the Marshmallow Fluff and butter to the melted chocolate.
*Beat all together on medium-speed until smooth.
Assemble: Either pipe or using a teaspoon spoon the filling onto a flat-side Whoopie.
Place another Whoopie on top (to sandwich) using the flat-side.
Repeat with the other cookies and fillings.
Storage: In an air-tight container in the fridge for no more than 2-days.
***Please Note: I always use Salted Butter and then omit the salt requested in recipes.
You should do what you feel is best.
Enjoy!
:)
