Photo: Whoopie Pies Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups milk

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, or preheat a convection oven to 315 degrees F.
In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, and eggs together until well combined. Add the oil and vanilla and beat again.
In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Add half of the dry mixture to the egg mixture and beat or stir to blend. Add 1 1/2 cups milk and beat again. Add the remaining dry mixture and beat until incorporated. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk and beat until blended.
With a large spoon, scoop out 32 circles of batter onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
Spread filling onto 16 circles and place remaining circles on top, to make 16 Whoopie Pies.
Filling:
1 1/2 cups shortening
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/3 cups marshmallow topping
Dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 to 1/2 cup milk
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine all ingredients except the milk and beat well. Add just enough milk to achieve a creamy consistency. Spread filling across cooled cookie circles.

Bit of an amateur when it comes to baking and have always been fascinated with the whole whoopie thing so I thought I'd give it a shot (don't get a lot of these in Englandhindsight should have checked the reviews as there are a shed load of these babies. 30 pies the size of my fist.....but damned good pies. Filling was lovely, did half butter and half shortening (trex.

Loved these whoopie pies, but definately recommend cutting this recipe in half, deliciously moist, but do not leave them in for more than 12 min. I used an ice cream scoop for the cookies, and at 12 min they came out moist and delicious. Hope this helps the people who found them dry. Using this recipe I got 42 cookies, using the ice cream scoop.

DELICIOUS! We definitely loved them - BUT CUT THIS RECIPE IN HALF! We intended to only make about 8 cookies, so we halved the ingredients (both cookies and filling and still ended up with 17 huge cookies! Also, we added some peanut butter to the filling - it was A-MAZ-ING! One of my most favorite desserts now :-
