Creamsicle Whoopie Pies W Marshmallow Filling Recipes

VANILLA WHOOPIE PIES WITH MARSHMALLOW FILLING

Steps:

• For the cookies: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat together the granulated sugar, butter and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until combined. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk in 2 batches, beating after each addition until just combined.
• Scoop 2-tablespoon mounds of batter onto the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Moisten your fingers and gently form each mound into a round and slightly smooth the top. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake, rotating the trays halfway through, until the tops of the cookies bounce back when gently touched, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• For the marshmallow filling: Put the salt and egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until foamy. On high speed, gradually add 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and beat until stiff and shiny.
• Meanwhile, combine the corn syrup, 1/2 cup water and the remaining 3/4 cup sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the mixture reaches the firm-ball stage, about 245 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
• Turn on the mixer to medium speed. Slowly pour the hot syrup into the egg whites, then beat on high until the mixture is thick, fluffy and cool, 5 to 7 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Let cool completely.
• To assemble the whoopie pies, flip half of the cookies over on a work surface and spread them with the filling. Top each with another cookie, bottom facing in, to make a sandwich.
