Ingredients

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

  • 1 cup (220g) Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Large Egg
  • tsp Vanilla Extract
  • cups (180g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/3 cup (33g) Dutch Process Cocoa Powder, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Table Salt

SunButter Filling

  • 1/4 cup (60g) Original SunButter
  • 1/4 cup (57g) Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • cups (150g) Confectioners Sugar

Instructions

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment. In a large mixing bowl, add the brown sugar, sour cream, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until very smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, add flour, sifted cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  • Using a sieve, sift the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Use a hand-mixer to mix the dry ingredients into the wet. Mix only until everything is incorporated and smooth, but ensuring not to over mix.
  • Using a small ¾ ounce cookie scoop, scoop little mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets (12 per sheet), ensuring there is about 2 inches of space between each.
  • Place the baking sheets into the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes. When done, the cookies should have a springy top, and a toothpick should come out clean. Allow to cool completely before filling.

SunButter Filling

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the SunButter, butter and vanilla. Beat together with a hand mixer until well combined and smooth looking. Add the confectioners sugar, then beat until smooth.
  • Using a piping bag, cover ½ of the cookies with the filling, then place the other halves on top. Allow whoopie pies to ‘meld’ together for 2 hours before enjoying
