3. Bake the Whoopie Pies

  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized dollops of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly springy.
  3. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Use buttermilk – Keeps the cookies soft and moist.
Chill the dough before baking – Helps the cookies hold their shape.
Let cookies cool completely – Prevents the filling from melting.
