Cookie Butter Whoopie Pies
Time
Prep: 15 minutesBaking: 10 to 12 minutes
Cooling: 60 to 75 minutes
Ingredients
Whoopie Pies3 cups Unbleached All Purpose Flour
3/4 cups (1 1/2 stick) Unsalted Butter, softened
1 cup Dark Brown Sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups Smooth Cookie Butter
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup Buttermilk or regular milk
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
Whipped Ganache Filling
8 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
pinch of sea salt
1. Break up the chocolate bar into small pieces. Bring heavy cream or heavy whipping cream to a low boil on medium-high heat. Pour over chocolate and sea salt. Let stand for 10 minutes. Do not stir. Whisk ganache until smooth and shiny. Let cool to room temperature for at least 2 to 3 hours, depending on the temperature of your kitchen. To whip, beat ganache with a mixer for 3 to 4 minutes until pale and fluffy. Chill for thirty minutes.
2. In a medium size bowl, combine flour, sea salt, cinnamon, ginger and baking soda. In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrap the sides of the bowl.
3. Beat in eggs and cookie butter until well incorporated. Lower the speed of your mixer and alternate milk and flour mixture in 3 parts. Scrap the sides of the bowl. Cover and chill for at least 1 to 2 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and cover two to three cookie sheets with parchment paper.
5. Drop about 2 tablespoons worth of batter on prepared cookie sheets. Leaving about 2 inches apart. You might need to shape the dough, just wet fingertips and smooth out. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden brown but not completely set in the middle.
6. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes then transfer to wired rack to completely cool.
7. To assemble whoopie pies, pipe or spoon on whipped ganache on one cookie then gently press on other cookie. Store in an airtight container and keep in a cool place.
Tip: Keep the dough chilled between scooping out so they won't have too much spreading.

ReplyDeleteWow this recipe looks yum! Lots of yummy butter which is fortunately easily veganised for me... and did you know Speculoos is vegan!? Mega, right? I'm not sure what you meant by pi is infinity though... :)
ReplyDeleteThe number Pi goes on, it doesn't have an ending.
DeleteYea I know (I'm a mathematician). It's just that 'infinity' and 'infinite' are different :) Good recipe regardless!
DeleteAll the layers of yumminess! I love homemade baked goods, especially when I can make them with my kids. I know they'll love getting their hands dirty making these!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of whoopie pies but I have never seen them nor have I made them. They look absolutely divine and your photos of them made my mouth water. Pinning to try later!

ReplyDeleteI loved the traditional ones I tried in Bar Habor I would love to try these ones too - such a fun twist on the plain ones!
ReplyDeleteSooooo YUMMM!!!! And they look like something I can actually make! I have to try this out!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with cookie butter! I agree that the sweetness and spiciness of it would be a good complement to the more bitter, rich chocolate.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, they look so delicious. I have a big sweet tooth and I am craving some right now. I wonder if they can be made vegan for me though?
ReplyDeleteThey totally can be turned into vegan. Cookie butter is already vegan, for the butter and eggs you probably can use coconut oil.
DeleteI love whoopie pies, and I LOVE chocolate! This is clearly the best combination for me... I can't wait to try these out myself.
ReplyDeleteThese Whoopie Pies look so good! They wouldn’t last very long at our house.

ReplyDeleteFirst, thanks for reminding me that it's pi day! These whoopie pies look great. I'm definitely down for a sweet treat today.
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot that it was Pi Day -- it's gotten overshadowed by so much stuff for me today. And, these desserts look so delicious. I remember eating whoopie pies as a kid and absolutely loving them. I am extremely lactose intolerant so I can't eat them anymore, but they look so good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! x
