Chocolate Whoopie Pies | Dessert Recipe | The Ultimate Chef

YIELD: 12 PIES

A treat whose roots are from Maine, whoopie pies have grown increasingly popular over the years. They live somewhere in between a cake and a cookie and are traditionally stuffed with a fluffy frosting, but fill them with whatever you please, such as ganache or even a decadent jam.

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or lightly grease.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients up until the flaxseed meal.
  • In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with the water and let rest for 5 minutes to form a gel.
  • Mix in the prepared flaxseed, melted margarine, and non-dairy milk and mix well to form a foamy batter.
  • Drop by evenly rounded tablespoons onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 11 minutes and let cool completely before carefully removing from the cookie sheet.
  • Once cookies are cooled, spread 2 tablespoons Fluffy Bakery-Style Frosting onto one of the cookies and then gently press another cookie on top to combine.
