Those of you who follow me on Instagram have learned that I recently began working as an on-call photo stylist assistant at Hallmark. Dream come true!!! It is just about the coolest creative environment I’ve ever seen (including an amaaaaaazing prop warehouse, including an entire room devoted to food styling props!), plus I get to work with the kindest, most talented bunch of folks I could ever hope for. But one of the other perks of being back in a shared workplace a few days a week is having people to taste-test my food! Love it!!
So yesterday, after I may or may not have had one of these “Chocolate Biscoff Whoopie Pies” for breakfast, I brought the batch in to share with my coworkers. Thankfully, they were willing to help out. And one by one, the little pies disappeared from the pedestal until they were wonderfully gone – whoopie!
The feedback was a big thumbs up. Everyone seemed to love them! I, of course, loved the pairing of the sweet and cinnamony Biscoff cream cheese frosting with the chocolate whoopie pies. But I also thought they were nice and balanced — not overpoweringly sweet. Just sweet enough to enjoy one. And then maybe two. And….well, you’ll just have to give them a try. :)
Chocolate Biscoff Whoopie Pies
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 48 Cookies (or 24 Whoopie Pies) 1x
Description
Delicious Biscoff spread goes perfectly with this cream cheese frosting, sandwiched between two chocolate cookies to make these Chocolate Biscoff Whoopie Pies.
Ingredients
Chocolate Whoopie Pie Ingredients:
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp.) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
Biscoff Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:
- 1 (8 oz.) block cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Biscoff spread
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
To Make The Whoopie Pies:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- In a bowl, sift together, flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar with a mixer on low until just combined. Increase speed to medium and beat for about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat for two more minutes. Add half of the flour mixture and half of the milk and beat on low until incorporated. Repeat with remaining flour and milk and beat until combined.
- Drop batter on baking sheet in tablespoon clumps, each about two inches apart. Bake for about 10 minutes each or until pies spring back when pressed gently. Remove from oven and cool for about five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Once cooled, spoon or pipe the frosting onto the flat side of one cookie, and then top with another cookie to make a whoopie pie. Repeat with remaining frosting and cookies.
To Make The Biscoff Cream Cheese Frosting:
- Using an electric mixer, cream together cream cheese and Biscoff spread on medium speed until combined. Add vanilla and powdered sugar, and mix on low speed until sugar is incorporated. Stop mixer, and use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl. Increase speed to medium and mix for 1 more minute until well combined.
Notes
If you don’t have Biscoff spread, these would also be great with peanut butter.

Made these for a cookie exchange and they turned out great! One problem though, it’s hard getting that filling on to the cookie versus your finger and then on to your mouth! Seriously, super delicious recipe and easy to execute.
We’re so glad you enjoyed these! :)
These woopie pies look amazing! Lucky co-workers and how fun to work as photo stylist assistant at Hallmark!
Thanks for sharing the recipe, I just included it in my 100 chocolate recipes round-up https://www.roxanashomebaking.com/100-chocolate-recipes/
These look so good and I’d definitely sample one for breakfast ;) Love the biscoff filling and the contrast between the cookie and filling… I’m featuring this post in today’s Food Fetish Friday (with a link-back and attribution as always). Thank you so much for keeping me inspired with such delicious creations…
These are the best idea ever! And your job sounds like the best job ever!
How you even managed to make these whoopie pies will forever amaze me since I know personally, I’d probably stop, “sample” the filling, and then proceed to eat it entirely before anyone could even MENTION “whoopie pie.” They’re beautiful!
Chocolate + biscoff spread… a match made in heaven! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… you are the biscoff QUEEN! I love these Ali!
Congratulations on the new job, it sounds amazing! Almost as amazing as these whoopie pies!
