Whoopie Pies

Whoopie Pies have seen a bit of a resurgence in recent years. This might be due to the popularity of cupcakes, since Whoopie Pies are really a cupcake in sandwich cookie form. They come in many flavors, but the classic seems to be these Chocolate Whoopie Pies which combine two soft and moist, dome shaped chocolate cookies with a creamy vanilla flavored filling. What's nice is that they can be stored for up to a week in the refrigerator and you can enjoy them cold or at room temperature.
