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.

Maggie @ A Bitchin' Kitchen says
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
