http://ift.tt/1KDO6kq

  • Ingredients
  • Chocolate Whoopie Pies
  • 1 C Shortening
  • 1 C Sour Milk
  • 2 C Sugar
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/2 C Hot Water
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla
  • 1 C Cocoa
  • 4 C Flour
  • Whoopie Pie Icing
  • 1 1/2 C Milk
  • 2 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 C Shortening
  • 1/2 C Butter
  • 1 C Granulated Sugar
  • Instructions
  • Chocolate Whoopie Pies
  • 1. In a medium size bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa
  • 2. In a large bowl mix the eggs and sugar until they are a light yellow color
  • 3. Create the sour milk by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar to 1 Cup milk and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes
  • 4. Add the shortening, sour milk, and vanilla to egg and sugar mixture
  • 5. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients
  • 6. Once all combined add hot water
  • 7. Scoop batter onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 400° for 9-11 minutes
  • I used a 2" cookie scoop and it made 22 Whoopie pies
  • Icing Directions (I suggest making icing first)
  • You may need a double batch of icing for this recipe depending on how full you fill your whoopie pies. I filled 17 whoopie pies with a single batch of icing and used about 2 TBSP per whoopie pie.
  • 1. Cream together butter, shortening, and sugar for 10 minutes
  • 2. Over medium/low heat in a sauce pan heat 2 Tbsp of Cornstarch and milk stirring constantly
  • 3. Let milk thicken. It will take about 10 minutes
  • 4. Let milk cool and then add to creamed mixture
  • 5. Beat until smooth.
  • It will seem like the milk won't mix but it will. Take your time.
  • 6. Keep scraping the sides of the bowl and mix on medium speed until it incorporates. It could take 5 to 10 minutes, It will be worth it. Trust me!!


bon appetit
