Ingredients




3 egg whites
2 cups of mildly flavored honey like Clover
1/4 teaspoon of salt
4 cups of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract
2 sticks of room temperature butter

Preparation

1 In an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, mix 3 egg whites on high for approximately five minutes, or until you see stiff peaks. 2 Once you see stiff peaks, reduce speed to medium and slowly drizzle in the honey.  Once full added, increase mixer speed to high for another 1-2 minutes. 3 Add salt.  Mix for 30 seconds.  With the mixer on low, slowly add 2 cups of sifted powder sugar.  Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.  Once incorporated, increase speed to high for 1-2 minutes. 4 Put half of the marshmallow fluff in an air tight container.  Will stay in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and can be used just like any store bought marshmallow fluff! 5 Put the other half of the marshmallow fluff in a separate bowl for use in this recipe.  Clean out your mixing bowl. 6 In the cleaned mixing bowl, mix, with the paddle attachment, on medium to high speed the butter and remaining two cups of powdered sugar.  Mix for about 3 minutes. 7 After three minutes, add the marshmallow fluff (remember, only half of the amount you originally made!) to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.  Slowly add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vanilla. 8 Using an ice cream scoop, place 1 scoop of filling on the flat side of a cookie.  Place another cookie (flat side down) on top of the filling and flatten slightly.  Ta-da!  You’ve got a whoopie pie!
