What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Sunshine Eats: Whoopie Pies! Dip into your past for a childhood favorite that has been around since your parents and grandparents were kids. Some say it’s a cookie, others refer to it as a cake, but the name that seemed to stick more than any other is “Whoopie Pie”. No worries, one bite and it simply won’t matter. You’re hooked. Picture this: Sweet, creamy marshmallow fluff sandwiched between two chewy dark chocolate mounds. I know, right?!
WHOOPIE PIES
Ingredients:
8 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon molasses
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
7-ounce jar marshmallow creme
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream together butter, vegetable oil, molasses, and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg. Add vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cocoa powder. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir until blended. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. (I baked 6 cookies per sheet to allow room for them to form a perfect circle.) Bake 8-10 minutes. Watch carefully. Cool for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. To fill, spread a generous dollop on the bottom half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies. Wrap and chill 2 hours before serving.
One of our daughters has a cookbook of whoopie pies, but not this one. Thanks.

Whoopie pies are all the rage in my area. Going to the local farmers markets, you have your pick from at least a dozen different varieties. Pumpkin used to be my favorite.

I would imagine they are pretty good, if I ever find them sugar free and non-dairy.
