Pro Tips for the Best Wickedly Good Whoopie Pies

1. Don’t Overmix the Batter: Stir just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. This keeps the cakes soft and fluffy.
2. Space Out the Batter: The mounds will spread during baking, so leave plenty of room on the baking sheet.
3. Cool Completely Before Filling: If the cakes are even slightly warm, the filling can melt or ooze out.
4. Use a Cookie Scoop: For even portions and round, consistent cakes, use a scoop or tablespoon measure.
5. Store with Parchment Between Layers: If stacking, place parchment between each pie to prevent sticking.
