Whoopie Pies

My mother grew up in the east and always made these yummy whoopie pies for special treats. They even take me back to my college days. Before I was blogging, In college I was in a speech class. One of the speeches I had to give was a demonstration speech. I choose to do a whoopie pie recipe demonstration. It was just about like blogging. I took pictures of the process and created a slide show to demonstrate the recipe. It was so fun. So I guess it isn’t surprising that I took to blogging.

If you are looking for a delicious treat chocolatey treat, these are the perfect. 

The cookies are a cake like cookie. They are soft and so yummy. 

Then the frosting is is creamy and light. We always make extra frosting because you don’t want to skimp on it. Put a decent amount of frosting on each cookie sandwich. 

My other tip is to pair up cookies of similar size before frosting. Or if you want them to be the same size use a cookie scoop or tablespoon.

Simply whip up the cookies and frost away after they have cooled.

These whoopie pies pair perfectly with milk. I haven’t ever tried to dip them in milk, but you could probably try it ;).
