Chocolate Covered Strawberry Whoopie Pies
Ingredients
For Chocolate Whoopie Pie Cookies
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
For Strawberry Filling
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 2 cups confectioners sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 strawberry jam
- 2 cups sliced strawberries optional
For Chocolate Glaze (optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted
- 2 teaspoons agave or corn syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl whip butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk to the butter/sugar mixture just until combined.
- Scoop dough (about 2 Tablespoons each) onto cookies sheets. Be sure to space at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. (I used a medium cookie scoop and thought it was a perfect size.)
- Bake 8-10 minutes or until it springs back when touched.
- Place half of the cookies upside down. Top with a generous sized amount of strawberry whipped filling. Top with sliced strawberries. Place the second cookie on top. Smear top cookie with approximately 2 teaspoons chocolate glaze.
For Strawberry Filling:
- Place softened butter in mixing bowl. Whip for 2-3 minutes. Add 1 Tablespoon strawberry jam, confectioners sugar, flour, and vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes. Stir in the rest of the strawberry jam.
For Chocolate Glaze:
- In a microwave-safe bowl melt chocolate chips on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir well. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each time until fully melted. Stir in melted butter and agave or corn syrup. Spoon glaze over the top of each whoopie pie.

It’s funny, I always joke about getting jobs at restaurants just to figure out how they make things and then steal them! Why do they have to keep everything so secretive??
