Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of batter about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Gently shape each mound into a football shape. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops spring back lightly when touched. (15 minutes)

07

Step

Transfer the whoopie pies to a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)

08

Step

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together butter, powdered sugar, marshmallow cream, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a generous tablespoon of filling on the flat side of half of the cakes. Top with the remaining cakes to form sandwiches. (10 minutes)

10

Step

To decorate with football laces, transfer remaining filling to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner snipped off. Pipe laces onto the tops of the whoopie pies. Sprinkle with white crystal sugar for extra sparkle, if desired. (10 minutes)
