Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Buttermilk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Marshmallow creme
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar
• ¹⁄₄ cup Unsalted butter, softened
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
5. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small bowl, beat together the marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
8. Spread a generous amount of the marshmallow filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.
9. Allow the whoopie pies to rest for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
