Everyone Loves a Little Whoopie

hi there... i made the recipe and they came out tasting amazing!! i was just wondering how do you keep them because i found that the marshmallow spread and then things got a little messy in the container i put them in... i put them in the fridge but i was wondering if you have a specific way to keep the cookies from sticking together and prevention of the marshmallow mess? thanks so much! i would definitely make them again!

I have made a oatmeal version of these instead of chocolate. Taste much better and fresher than the ones Little Debbie sells. And of course, they never last long! Recipe: Cream 1 1/2 c. Crisco and 2 2/3 c. brown supar. Add 4 eggs, on at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 2 tsp. vanilla. In separate bowl combine 2 1/2 c. flour, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg. Add to creamed mixture. Stir in 4 c. old fashioned oats. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350* for 10-12 min. til golden brown. Cool. For filling, cream 3/4 c. Crisco, 3 c. confectioners sugar and 1 (7oz.) jar marshmallow creme. Add 1-3 Tb. milk to achieve spreading consistency. Spread filling over half of cookies and top with remaining halves. Makes 4 1/2 dozen. Enjoy!

By Janice on 11/5/2009 12:49:31 AM

I would love to make these....the pumpkin sounds extra special combined with the cream cheese. Does anyone have a recipe for the pumpkin...thanks.

By Patti on 11/4/2009 12:15:02 PM

Cream Cheese frosting in the middle is better than marshmallow cream

By CATHERINE on 11/4/2009 9:16:20 AM

These are called GOBS where I live & you can get pumpkin & banana flavors too at craft shows.  Mom & I used to bake 100 of them at Christmas time & then freeze them & pop 10 out at a time or so.  Not the low cal version of course :)  So now I'll have to see if she has some in her freezer...

By Angie on 11/4/2009 8:00:41 AM

By Sarah on 11/3/2009 9:16:04 PM

Sounds like a great cookie. Can't decide on which flavor to bake tomorrow  !! Pumpkin sounds the best.

By Linda on 11/3/2009 8:50:22 PM

I love the pumpkin flavor idea from Judi up about. We just baked up a few sugar pumpkins and have been trying to think of what to do with them all.

By Elizabeth on 11/3/2009 8:30:44 PM

These are also great in pumpkin flavor. YUM

By Judi on 11/3/2009 6:54:26 PM

Oh, that sounds delicious.

By Cynthia on 11/3/2009 6:12:04 PM

Marshmallow Creme sounds way too sweet....   I'd probably try to tame it by folding in some unsweetened whipped cream or beaten egg whites, etc.

By Susan on 11/3/2009 5:09:14 PM

By Juanita on 11/3/2009 5:06:06 PM

This sounds really good, I think I will try it during the holidays.

By Juanita on 11/3/2009 5:06:00 PM

sounds  yummy!!

By anonymous on 11/3/2009 4:38:53 PM

pumpkin whoopie pies are even better this time of year...we like them chilled from the freezer...refreshing, and much easier to eat. :-)

By E on 11/3/2009 4:23:13 PM

Tansy, couldn't you just use sugar cookie in place of the cocoa cookie?

By Colleen on 11/3/2009 4:09:44 PM

Here is an easy way, instead of the cocoa mix, use cake mixes, vanilla, or chocolate, very easy to make

By Patti on 11/3/2009 3:05:52 PM

ooh! this sounds good! I will make some of these tonight!

By J-me on 11/3/2009 2:28:14 PM

Yeah leave out the coca.

By Monika on 11/3/2009 2:07:22 PM

 I used to make whoopie pies when I lived in Pennsylvania...whoopie pies are from the Amish.  There is also an oatmeal whoopie pie.  Instead of chocolate cookies, you make an oatmeal cookie instead.  Anyone have the recipe for oatmeal whoopie pies?

By Donna on 11/3/2009 10:49:14 AM

Does anyone know of a vanilla version?  I'm not a chocolate lover...
