Description

Imagine biting into a cloud of chocolate, a delightful indulgence that defies expectations. These whoopie pies begin with a rich, dark chocolate cookie, each one carefully formed and baked to a perfect, soft, cake-like texture. The aroma alone is enough to entice, promising a decadent treat that is both satisfying and surprisingly light.

The cookies themselves are tender and moist, providing a delightful contrast to the luscious filling nestled between them. Speaking of the filling, prepare for a dreamy buttercream experience. This isn't your ordinary frosting; it's a velvety smooth creation, whipped to airy perfection.

Its delicate sweetness complements the deep cocoa notes of the cookies, creating a harmonious balance of flavors that dance on your palate. The generous swirl of buttercream, ideally piped with a star-shaped tip for an elegant presentation, adds a visual appeal that is as tempting as the taste. While these whoopie pies are best enjoyed fresh, when the cookies are at their softest and the buttercream is at its most creamy, they can also be stored for later enjoyment.

A brief chill in the refrigerator or freezer allows the flavors to meld even further, and bringing them back to room temperature before serving ensures that the texture remains delightful. The key to achieving that perfect buttercream is using softened butter and a finely milled sweetener, and allowing the mixture to whip for an extended period. This creates a light, airy consistency that is simply irresistible.

Each bite is a symphony of textures and tastes, making these whoopie pies a truly memorable dessert.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 350 F. Blend all the dry ingredients, including the almond flour, cacao powder, sea salt, baking soda, and frac{3}{4} cup powdered sweetener, in a medium-sized mixing bowl using a whisk to combine.
    2.
    To the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 12 tbsp room temperature butter, the eggs, and vanilla extract. The mixture will not be smooth.
    3.
    Add the dry ingredients and cream the mixture until well blended and fluffy for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides at least once.
    4.
    Use a 1 oz cookie scoop to portion the chocolate cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure to leave room for the cookies to spread. Do not flatten the cookies before baking. The height will allow them to stay puffed.
    5.
    Bake for 10 minutes or until puffed and set. Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling them with the buttercream. Repeat with the remaining batter on a separate baking sheet.
    6.
    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine two sticks of room temperature butter with 2 cups powdered sweetener. Mix for 5-7 minutes, scraping the bowl down a couple of times until the buttercream has lightened and tripled in size.
    7.
    Fill a large piping tip fitted with a #825 Wilton tip with the buttercream. Pipe the buttercream in a swirl pattern on the cookie s bottom, flat side to fill the entire surface. Top with another chocolate cookie with the flat side touching the buttercream. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
