When summertime rolls around, using seasonal ingredients like blueberries and lemons to make lemon blueberry whoopie pies is a great way to reflect the changing of the seasons in your kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Our recipe folds fresh blueberries into impossibly soft lemon cookies that sandwich a cream cheese buttercream filling flavored with vanilla and more lemon. The vibe is very summery, although because you can use fresh or frozen berries, you can make blueberry lemon whoopie pies any time of the year.

If the ratio of dry and liquid ingredients is off, the batter could be too thin and will spread during baking. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-measure-ingredients\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-measure-ingredients\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Measuring ingredients<\/a> correctly will ensure you get the correct amounts and the perfect rise and texture. Remember to leave 2 inches between the cookies on the baking sheet so they won&#8217;t run into each other.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you make sure the filling doesn&#8217;t ooze too much?<\/h3>\n<p>The cream cheese filling for the lemon whoopie pies should have a buttercream-like consistency: spreadable but firm enough that it won&#8217;t ooze out from between the cookies. You can always blend more confectioners&#8217; sugar into the filling if it seems too goopy. Chilling the assembled whoopie pies is another way to keep the filling in place, as the cold will firm up the butter and cream cheese.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lemon blueberry whoopie pies are a dessert that captures the flavors of summer.
