Chocolate Valentine Whoopie Pies Recipe & High Elevation Baking Tips:

  • If you live 3,000 feet above sea level or more it is considered high elevation and may take longer to cook/bake. 
  • Adjustments are needed for 5000+ feet and above:
  • Reduce baking powder: for each teaspoon, decrease 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.
  • Reduce sugar: for each cup, decrease 2 tablespoons.
  • Increase liquid: for each cup, add 2 to 4 tablespoons.
  • Increase oven temperature by 25 degrees F.
  • Check if it is done a little early.
  • This takes some trial and error to get it right for you.

    Hey Ruthie. These are amazing and so easy to make. I realized if you let the batter rest for maybe 10 minutes they don’t spread as much, which I preferred. Made a test batch tonight. Making these for Superbowl party. Go KC Chiefs!

  2. Shelby says:

    When it says pink filling in the ingredients is it referring to the frosting you make with the food coloring?

    • Hi Shelby… I updated the instructions so I think it is more clear now. “Spread or pipe pink cream cheese frosting on the base of cookies, top with the base of second cookie to form a sandwich.” Thank you for the question and I hope you love these whoopie pies! xoxo~ Ruthie

  6. Hey Ruthie! Do you by any chance remember how big these were once baked? A teaspoon of batter seems like such a small amount for what looks like a HUGE whoopie pie…but the photo may just be playing tricks on my eyes 🙂 I might bake these this weekend and was just trying to visualize how wide they’d be. Thanks a bunch!

    • Ruth says:

      Hi Maggie… it’s hard to believe that they grow to be so large but, they do! Finished cookies is probably 2 1/2 inches across AND they’re to-die-for… just sayin’ 🙂 Thanks for the nice comment xoxo~ Ruthie
