    I cream the shorteining with the confectioners sugar, then add the beaten egg white. The filling comes out smooth and creamy every time.

    So this is the third Whoopie Pie recipe I have tried. This one is the real original I remember my mom using when I was a kid. The cookie flavor is excellent I could definitely taste the buttermilk flavor which was nice. And the filling was a perfect texture however I needed to add a little salt to mine filling. I did have one disappointment, the flavor and texture of the cookie was really great, but the cookie was a little dry. I wonder which would be better, using less flour, a different flour (I used cake flour, or just baking it for a shorter amount of time. I would love some help on this so I don't have to try all the options my self. Good day!

    The cake part of the Whoopie Pie was very good, but the filling either didn't turn out right,or I just don't care for the "original recipe". Taking stiff beaten egg whites and then trying to incorporate 1 1/4 cups of shortening (I'm also not a big fan of the taste of shortening created a strange cottage cheesey texture. Even mixing in the confectioners sugar didn't completely resolve the texture issue. I ate one, just because I'd gone to all the trouble, and tried another the next day, hoping sitting overnight might help. But I really didn't like these.. Definitely not looking for a marshmallow fluff filling, but this just didn't work for me. So sad...

    Yummy! Just made these. Did the egg whites separate as suggested below. Also added some peppermint extract to the filling and some green food color. Family loved them.

    I was shocked at how many whoopie pie recipes used melted marshmallows as the filling! This recipe is how whoopie pie is supposed to taste! Soft fluffy cookies and decadent whipped filling! Yum!!

    This is the recipe my mom used to bake in the 1950's. She taught me to sift the confectionary sugar and beat in 1 cup of it at at time when we made the filling. This makes sure that the mixture is well blended and doesn't leave granules of sugar. I also whipped the egg whites first, set them aside and added them to the sugar mixture last. A quick mix on high makes sure they are mixed in with the sugar & shortening. As far as this New Hampshire girl is concerned, this is the original whoppie pie.

    I'm a New England girl, and I'm very particular about my whoopie pies, and I have to say, t his recipe exceeded my expectations!! I used Penzey Dutch Chocolate and this recipe, and it was the hit of my halloween party! The whoopie pies were better than any I can remember! I used dry egg whites for the filling rather than fresh egg whites, but it still came out great! A wonderful recipe!!

    Emeril, I just love you and your recipes so much, and even tho I made it and got a lot of compliments I have to say they are not the real thing. I am from your area and I know that you have had them made with marshmallow fluff. that is the original whoopie pie recipe made with fluff. It comes out so creamy, and is so yummy, and deserves a big Bamm!!!!!!!!

    Amy, you are dead wrong about the Marshmallow Fluff....Please google "history of Whoopie Pies" as for the grainy texture in your filling....you're sugar is not being dissolved when beating your egg whites.....try a sugar syrup instead
