Adrianna from Good Morning Cupcake shows how easy it is to make whoopie pie creations, and they are much tastier than anything you can buy in the store.

Directions
1 2/3 cups  All Purpose Flour
2/3 cup  Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 tsp  Baking Soda
1/2 tsp     Salt
4 tbsp    Butter, unsalted, softened
4 tbsp    Vegetable Shortening
1 cup      Light Brown Sugar, packed
1   Egg
1 tsp   Vanilla Extract
1 cup   Milk
 
  • Preheat oven to 375*F.
  • Measure the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
  • In the bowl of a stationary mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter , shortening and brown sugar.
  • Add the egg and vanilla.
  • Add the half of the flour mixture and then half of the milk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat. Mix until everything is completely combined.
  • Fill a pipping bag or ziplock bag with the batter. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Pipe a head, two arms, and two legs close together. Leave an inch between the next figure.
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the pie springs back when pressed gently.
  • Fill with desired flavor (ie: whipped cream, jam, frosting, curd, peanut butter, etc.)
  • Decorate as desired.
