These look much better than the shortening filled ones. I love your new soup blog!
I've never had a whoopie pie. I think they are more popular in parts of the country where I haven't lived
Oh my god. *drool* I need to make these now.
Never had a whoopie pie, but I want one just because I love the name! They do look scrumptious! And messy. Or maybe just messy for me!
Yum, that filling is calling to me! I know the cookie part is delish but it's always been the filling I savor.

These look really good! I've never had a whoopie pie, but I'd love to try one of these. :)
I recently posted a recipe for pumpkin chocolate cookies, but I really like the idea of making them into Whoopies!
Anne, these look so good. I also have never had a whoopie pie. How did I get to this age without a whoopie pie?
These look great! I have never made whoopie pies myself, I'm inspired. I bet they are a 100 times better than the ones you buy at the market. I wish I had one for breakfast!
These sound too delicious! I'm definitely serving these on Thanksgiving for the kids. The adults will love them, too, with a rich cup of Kona coffee.
Thanks, everyone! They were really yummy - and yes, Kathy - MESSY!
Ooooh, love these! Would be a fun dessert for the kids at Thanksgiving dinner.
Love love whoopie pies! Originally from New Englnd...very popular there and a staple dessert!!
