Did this worry anyone else, or was it just me?

I like Pumpkin the best too!
Whoopie pie - Not a pie, but a cookie sandwich, with two soft cookies (most recipes are cake-like) that sandwich a fluffy filling. The original whoopie pies were chocolate with white filling, but today anything goes.

A friend of mine makes these and they are unbelievably good. She won't share the recipe, though.

Well that's not being a friend, here is a recipe

CHOCOLATE WHOOPIE PIES

Pies:

2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
1 cup cocoa
2 egg yolks and 2 whole eggs (save the egg whites for the filling)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour

Cream sugar and shortening together in a large bowl. Add eggs and mix. Sift dry ingredients together and add to the creamed mixture alternatively with milk. Batter will be stiff. If it is too thin, add more flour. Drop by tablespoon onto greased sheets. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the cookies comes out clean.

Filling:

2 egg whites
1 box 10X sugar
1 cup shortening
4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat egg whites till stiff. Add shortening and vanilla and blend. Add milk and then add the sugar. Beat until smooth. Spread some filling on the bottom side of one cookie; top with a second cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. Yields approximately 5 dozen.

For those in western PA....they are called GOBS. Personally I prefer to call them Whoppie Pies

OMG, I love Whoopie pies, but they have to be home made. I always want to buy some when we go down to Amish Country.

I'm from Pittsburgh, but live in Central Pa now and still call them Gobs. I grew up making thousands of these with my mom. We still make them for every single wedding we attend. They are easy to make and so yummy. I love the pumpkin ones, but DD and DH love the chocolate with peanut butter creme.

I think I am going to head down to the farmers market in town and pick some up for dessert tonight!
