Whoopie Pie Recipes

Total Time: About 15 minutes, plus cooking time.

Yield: The recipe says 18 servings, but I only got 13.

Source: Weight Watchers

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening (I like the butter-flavored)
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 cup low fat (1%) milk
• 3/4 cup marshmallow spread

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.

 
2. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the sugar, shortening and egg white in a medium bowl until fluffy and well blended, about 2 minutes.

 

 
3. Stir in the flour mixture then the milk, until just blended.

4. Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto a large, ungreased baking sheet, making 36 cookies. (I only got about 26 cookies. They were a little larger than called for. Oops!)

 
5. Bake until the top springs back when lightly touched, 5-7 minutes.
6. Allow to cool completely then spoon 2 teaspoons of marshmallow spread on the bottom of the cookie. Top with another cookie.

 

*It's best to make these as you are going to eat them. The marshmallow cream tends to ooze out and cause a mess. I just keep the cookies in a container and make them up when the need arises!

You may have better luck doing an internet recipe search for Whoopie pies rather than cookies. Why they're called pies, I don't know! For the cookie part of the recipe, I think any very soft cookie recipe would work. The filling is the tricky part. Here's the best recipe I've found.

1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1/2 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups Marshmallow Fluff
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Beat the first four ingredients together, then stir in the vanilla until well blended.

You can almost feel this stuff hardening in your arteries, but it makes a delicious filling for all sorts of cookies such as chocolate chip and oatmeal, and is also very tasty spread on things like banana bread or croissants. I store it in the fridge and set it out to warm up to spreadable temperature before I use it.

Freeze them on a cookie sheet and then place them in freezer bags/containers until gift giving time :-)

When I make Whoopie Pies, I wrap them individually right after making. They can be stored in a plastic container such as an empty ice cream pail, tupperware ect.
Then you can get a few out or the whole container. This worked great for me. I hope it works for you.
