How to make Chocolate Whoopies
Preheat the oven
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
For the batter
- Step 1
In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Step 2
In another bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together with the egg and vanilla extract until you achieve a thick mixture. Add one-third of the dry ingredient mixture and mix well.
- Step 3
Gradually add the milk, alternating with the remaining dry ingredients, and mix slowly until you have a smooth batter.
- Step 4
Scoop small spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking tray, leaving plenty of space between them as they will expand in the oven.
- Step 5
Bake until the batter is firm, approximately 15 minutes.
- Step 6
Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and set aside to cool.
For the filling
- Step 1
Place all the filling ingredients in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until you achieve a creamy, thick mixture.
- Step 2
Let the filling rest in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
Assembly

Assemble the Whoopies by using a piping bag with a plain nozzle to add a bit of filling to one cookie layer, then adhere another cookie layer on top.

Tips & Tricks

Use a piping bag for a clean and professional-looking assembly.
