WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• For the chocolate cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• Beat the sugar, butter and eggs with a mixer for about 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and beat for 30 seconds more. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, alternating with the milk and beating until smooth.
• Using an ice cream scoop, drop mounds of the batter (about 1/2 cup for each) onto the lined baking sheet (6 per sheet as they will spread when baking). Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• For the marshmallow filling: Whisk together the sugar, honey, vanilla, egg whites and 2 tablespoons water (30ml) in a large heatproof bowl using a hand mixer. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Beat with the mixer until the mixture is thick, creamy and stands in peaks, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and beat for a minute or so more, then let cool completely. (You can keep the marshmallow filling in the refrigerator until ready to use.)
• Spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side (bottom) of a chocolate cake. Sandwich with another cake, pressing down gently to spread the filling evenly. Repeat to make 8 whoopie pies. Serve immediately or wrap the whoopie pies individually in plastic wrap (they can be frozen).

WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cream of tarter, and cocoa. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, Crisco, sugar, and vanilla until well blended, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, blending after each addition. Add the flour mixture to the sugar-butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Blend well but don't over mix. The mixture will look like cake batter and if it looks curdled, don't worry about it.
• Use ¼ cup batter for each cookie. Drop the batter onto parchment line cookie sheets......one in each corner and one in the middle. Make them as round as possible. At this point, each cookie will be about 2-1/2 inches in diameter and they should be 3-1/2 to 4 inches apart. Bake for 6 minutes and if necessary, reverse the cookie sheet from front to back so they bake evenly. Continue to bake 10 minutes longer or until top of cake springs back when touched with your fingertip. Don't over bake. Remove the cookie from the sheet with a spatula to parchment paper covered racks to cool. If any of the cookie are irregular shaped, trim them carefully while they are still warm. Repeat with the remaining batter until you have 30 cookies.
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, mix together the flour and milk until blended. Cook on medium heat and cook and stir constantly until mixture becomes thick. Remove from heat and cool completely. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until slightly softened. Add the vanilla, salt, & powdered sugar. Add the cooled milk mixture to the butter mixture and beat until light and fluffy.
• Arrange the cookie into pairs, flat sides up. Place a generous ¼ cup of filling on 15 of the cookies, using the entire filling. Spread the filling to about ½ inch from the edge....it will be almost ½ inch thick. Top with another cookie, flat side down. Press the cookie together so the filling comes to the edge.
• Serve and eat. Or you can chill them, and then wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap. They can be stored in the refrigerator, but taste better eaten at room temperature.
• NOTE: To make smaller cookies, drop heaping tablespoons full of batter onto the sheet and then you can get approximately 2 dozen or so.
