How to Make Simply Wonderful Whoopee Pies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between two prepared baking sheets, dropping by rounded tablespoons.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the whoopee pies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating until light and fluffy.
  9. Stir in the milk and vanilla until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  10. Once the whoopee pies are completely cool, frost the flat side of half of the cakes. Top with the remaining cakes to create whoopee pies.
  11. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
