How to Make S’mores Whoopie Pies
S’mores Whoopie Pies are basically a rich chocolate ganache and smooth marshmallow buttercream sandwiched between two graham cracker cake cookies. When you eat one you will toss your skinny jeans out the window and embrace your “fat pants” because you will realize that eating something so decadent is worth whatever price. And who really looks good in skinny jeans anyway?
These S’mores Whoopie Pies are the BEST way to enjoy a dessert, with layers of flavor, and deliciousness. Here is how to make them:
Make the Whoopie Pie Shells
-
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help thee cookies not to stick to the pan.
-
In a medium sized bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, flour, and baking powder, set aside
-
In a separate bowl, combine milk, vanilla, baking soda, and vinegar, set aside
-
In a stand mixer, combine 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar using the paddle attachment and cream together for 2 minutes.
-
After creaming the sugar and butter together for 2 minutes, add the eggs in one at a time.
-
Beat for 1 minute.
-
Slowly add in milk mixture and flour mixture, and mix until just combined.
-
Scoop mixture into a gallon sized ziptop bag, and cut the tip.
-
Pipe 2 inch circles of batter, it will spread, so make sure to give them space. (9 to a pan is the most I would do, you should get 24-26 total)
-
Bake 8-10 minutes, let sit on pan for 1-2 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.
-
Make the Marshmallow Buttercream
-
While the whoopie pie shells cool, mix together all of the marshmallow buttercream ingredients in a large bowl, using a hand mixer, and pop in the fridge for a few minutes to allow to set up a bit.
Make the Chocolate Ganache
-
In a microwave safe bowl, heat 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream for 45 seconds to 1 minute
-
Pour the chocolate chips into the whipping cream, and stir until melted and shiny!
-
Add salt.
Assemble your Whoope Pies
-
Take a “cookie” and scoop 1 Tablespoon of chocolate ganache on top, and spread, then add 1 Tablespoon of the marshmallow buttercream, and top with another “cookie”.
-
Store in an airtight container for up to a week!
How to Save or Store S’mores Whoopie Pies for Later
Okay, okay, maybe you can exercise some self control and not eat the whole lot yourself. Me…well, let’s just say that little story I told you earlier this week about my daughter calling my tummy “quite large” may be directly connected to the over-consumption of these glorious S’mores whoopie pies. Worth every calorie. Worth abandoning those new year’s resolutions. They are comfort embodied, however, if you want to exercise more self control, here are some tips for saving them for later:
- Let them cool completely.
- Package them in an airtight container, fully assembled.
- Freeze for up to 2 months.
- When ready to consume, let defrost on the counter, and enjoy!
Now don’t you just want a big old bite?

Destinee says
Hi! I’m loving the idea of these but my cookies did not turn out right. They were too soft and fell apart. Any tips/ ideas? Tasted wonderful though!!
Rachael says
I would love to help you with this, but since I am not in the kitchen with you, I am not sure. I would start with the butter, was it room temp? That can make a big difference. If you did use room temp butter, how about the flour, how did you measure it? It could also be your oven temp, has it been calibrated? You could try baking a little longer. Wish I could be more helpful.
