I had these pies from the dinner and couldn't wait to try out their recipe!

I have to say, unless, the pies are the size of a head, you can certainly cut the recipe in half. I used a half cup to measure each pie out and I had 16 pies - with enough batter for another 16 pies!

A lot of other people reviewed saying that the filling recipe is too greasy because of the shortening, that is an original whoopie pie that only true New Englanders would appreciate. Trying to serve these in the south, would seem to be a bit of a challenge so I added about another cup of marshmallow and it's proved to be just right!

These where a great hit!

The flavor is really good. but they are way too flat. What did I do wrong? I halved the recipe as suggested but other than that I didn't change anything.
Help!

check measurement for baking sode - its TOO MUCH... maybe should be teaspoons not Tablespoons.... fantastic recipe ... BUT, definitly half the cookie-cake recipe or double the cream recipe... also - replace some butter/margarine for the shortening in the filling to avoid that mouth-coating greasy flavor. I used 1/2 butter, 1/2 crisco. Use a number 2 cookie scoop to get just right sized pies, and use parchment paper. use the scoop to fill them as well. REAL crowd pleaser ! GREAT EASY RECIPE !

These are great but boy are they alot of work. I tried to free hand them on the baking sheet and out of the entire recipe I think I got maybe 3 cookies that didn't run together. Ugh! To make them uniform in size, I used a cookie cutter. You will need cooking spray with flour to keep them from sticking to your sheets. The filling does have the taste of shortening but it doesn't need to be refrigerated. I tried the second batch of filling using 1/2 cup of butter along with the cup of shortening and it did change the flavor only marginally. Too much effort for me but the cake is scrumptous and the filling takes it over the top. The previous reviewers said to double the filling recipe and they are right.

I was unimpressed, and so were my friends. One claimed he tasted baking soda (is it possible there's not supposed to be 1 1/2 T of baking soda in there? it seems like a lot and i agree that they tasted funny. I used a different filling, but can't imagine i would've preferred crisco to butter. plus, like other people mentioned, the recipe is huge, even when halving. not quite worth the trouble, or the calories.

Everyone loved these - I did change the filling recipe a bit by adding an extra cup of 10x sugar, some more vanilla and a bit more milk. To me, the original filling was too greasy tasting.

The first time I made them, I made the whole recipe and it was an overload. Halved the recipe this time and came out with 12 good size pies. They're easy, delicious and guaranteed to put a smile on someone's face. I would, however, make the full amount of filling - seemed like I ran out.

Everything about this recipe works. The cake is delicious, but you have to be carefull not to over-bake them. Don't wait until a toothpick comes out clean as the cake will then be too dry and crumbly when it cools. The filling is great just the way it is. Since we like lots of filling, I doubled the recipe. It does make A LOT of them, so be ready to share!

After reading the reviews, I cut the recipe in half and still had 12 full, large whoopie pies. We even had to take some over to friends and everyone that's had them loves them!! They are such a hit and although so bad for you, they're pretty worth it. I substituted whole wheat flour to make them a little better and they're still amazing.
