Chocolate Raspberry Whoopie Pies

Chocolate-Raspberry Whoopie Pies

Lately we’ve been making lots of cookies as they are relatively easy to prepare, look very beautiful, they’re ideal if you want to eat something sweet, but don’t want to be heavy-handed, and the variety is endless! We added Amaretto liqueur to the dough that makes the chocolate whoopee pies very aromatic, and the filling is very smooth, it consists of mascarpone cheese and raspberries. This recipe makes 55 sandwiched cookies, which is perfect if you want to surprise your colleagues at work.

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Raspberry Mascarpone FillingTip: Making so many whoopie pie cookies requires time so if you like, you can make them bigger. If you would like to do so, shape bigger balls and press them lightly with the bottom of a glass. Be careful not to flatten them too much or they may become too fragile to handle.

      Thank you so much! 🙂 Haha, I know what you mean, it’s kind of hard to resist the liqueur in desserts, it makes them so tangy and flavourful!
