Whoopie Pies

I had never heard of Whoopie Pies before, but I saw a recipe in the Jan-Feb issue of Veg News, and I had to try them. They turned out yummy!



Whoopie Pies
Makes 14 sandwiches

Cookies:
1¾ cups whole-wheat pastry flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup non-hydrogenated margarine or vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup vanilla non-dairy yogurt
½ cup vanilla non-dairy milk

Vanilla Cream Filling:
2¼ cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons non-hydrogenated margarine or vegetable shortening
1½ teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons vanilla non-dairy milk

Preheat oven to 350°.
Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Combine brown sugar, margarine, and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer for about 2 min. Add yogurt, milk, and flour mixture, and beat for another 2 min.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and drop 2-tablespoon portions of batter, with some room in between.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, and cool completely on a wire rack.
For filling, combine sugar, margarine, and vanilla. Beat for 30 sec. Add milk and beat for 2-3 min until fluffy.
To assemble the pies, put 1 or 2 tablespoons of filling onto the flat part of one cookie, and press another cookie onto the top. They can be eaten right away or stored in a sealed container in the fridge.

I didn't have any vanilla soy yogurt, so I used blueberry, and while that makes the pies taste a little blueberryish, it's actually pretty good. I bet strawberry or raspberry would be awesome.

Also, these are super sweet, mostly because of the filling.

I think you're right, actually, because I got that particular Vegetarian Times mag too, and I remember wondering why they put the recipe in there because I saw it and thought that marshmallow creme had gelatin in it.

Now I'm feeling paranoid and weird, I gotta go dig that magazine back up, haha!

Damn, nevermind! Whoopie pies ahoy, they sound much better than marshmallow to me anyway! :3

fyi: marshmallow creme doesn't have gelatin in it; but it does have egg whites.

Since I'd never had one before, I don't really have a point of reference to know whether these are authentic-tasting, but they really are quite yummy!

Are these hard? I've seen the recipe before and I've been too scared to try it!

Surprisingly easy. If you've made cupcakes, it's many of the same ingredients and steps, except you plop the batter onto a cookie sheet instead of into a muffin pan.
