Vanilla Lovers Whoopie Pies Recipes

VANILLA WHOOPIE PIES FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with two racks, in the upper middle and lower middle positions. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat the butter and sugar in a stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, or about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla and scrape down the side of the bowl.
• Combine the flour, salt, and baking bowl in a large bowl. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour.
• Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto baking sheets spaced 2 inches apart in all directions. There should now be 12 cakes. (For smaller cakes, make them 2 tablespoons each. You will need another baking sheet.)
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes, switching the baking sheets halfway through. (Reduce to 10-13 minutes for smaller cakes.). When fully baked, a cake tester will come out clean but the cakes will still be soft. Remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
• Beat the powdered sugar and butter together until light and fluffy using a stand mixer on medium speed. Add the salt and vanilla. Add the marshmallow cream and beat until fully combined. Add the vanilla bean paste and stir in.
• Spread 1/3 cup of filling onto the flat side of half of the cakes. The filling should stay on but still be spreadable. It if it's sliding off, place in the refrigerator to firm up or add a bit more powdered sugar. If it's too soft to spread, add a touch of milk.
• Place the remaining cakes on top to make a sandwich. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk in 2 batches, beating after each addition until just combined.
• Scoop 2-tablespoon mounds of batter onto the baking sheets about 2-inches apart. Moisten your fingers and gently form each mound into a round and slightly smooth the top. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake the cookies, rotating the trays halfway through, until the tops bounce back when gently touched, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Put the confectioners' sugar and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on low speed until just incorporated, about 1 minute. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until smooth and fully incorporated. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the dissolved cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Turn the mixer back on to medium speed and beat until everything is well mixed, 1 to 2 minutes. With the mixer off, add the milk. Mix together on low speed until just incorporated.
• To assemble the whoopie pies: Flip half of the cookies over and spread the bottoms with the filling. Top each with another cookie--bottom facing in--to make a sandwich.
• Put the sprinkles on a plate and roll the edge of each whoopie pie in the sprinkles to coat.
