Maine Wicked Whoopie Pies (Chocolate)

I've made these quite a few times and they usually come out very moist in the event they are not overbaked. Frost with the old fashioned cooked whoopie pie frosting and store them in the fridge. See frosting recipe under "Community Recipes." [It is included as one of her recipes on the Nebraska Kitchen site.]

Yield: 20-24
Source: This recipe came from my mother.

½ cup butter (1 stick)
½ cup shortening
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup cocoa
1 cup hot water
1 cup buttermilk
4 heaping cups flour
2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking soda

Step 1: Beat butter, shortening, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until creamy.

Step 2: Add hot water, buttermilk, and cocoa to creamed mixture and mix until blended.

Step 3: In separate bowl whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda then add flour mixture to creamed mixture and mix well.

Step 4: Scoop large rounded spoonfuls of batter onto greased cookie or nonstick sheet and space at least 2” apart.

Step 5: Bake at 350F for 10 min.

(Optional):
To make red velvet whoopie pies, just add 2 ounces of red food coloring to chocolate mixture.

Sounds great ! I would like to know what is "old fashioned cooked. Whoopie pie frosting." .If you can supply a recipe or source that would be good. I would also like to know if they need to be refrigerated? Thanks

Hi latower. I posted the whoopie pie frosting here as well. Scroll down a few and you will see the posting. Don't know why it's called "old fashioned cooked frosting"....just something I got from my mother. Good luck.

Spread the word
