I never met a whoopie pie I didn't like and the oatmeal variety is no exception.
Just one will do you, as it is pretty filling.
Filling and very yummy!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a few cookie sheets.
Ingredients:
Cookies-
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup(1/2 stick) butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 Tablespoons milk
2-1/2 cups flour
2 cups oatmeal
Filling-
1 egg white
2 Tablespoons flour
2 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-3/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar, divided
3/4 cup shortening
First you need to assemble the cookies.
In a bowl, cream together the brown sugar, shortening, butter, salt,cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract.
Beat in the eggs and milk until the batter is smooth.
Stir in the flour and oatmeal.
Drop the batter by tablespoon onto the greased cookie sheets. Make sure you get an even number.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until set.
Remove from oven and leave on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before putting on a baking rack to cool.
While the cookies cool, make the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the egg white, flour, milk, vanilla extract, shortening, and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar.
When that is well blended, beat in the remaining 3/4 cup shortening.
To assemble, spread cookie with filling and top with another cookie.
You should end up with about 20 oatmeal whoopie pies.
If you love pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting, you are going to love these.
Most people think of whoopie pies as being chocolate.
But, these as a fantastic change of pace.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Lightly grease 2 or 3 cookie sheets.
Ingredients:
COOKIES-
1-1/2 cups pureed pumpkin(15 oz. can)
2 large eggs
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup cooking oil
2 Tbs molasses
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups flour
In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, oil, and molasses.
Add the salt, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
Beat in the flour.
Using a medium cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until they feel firm to the tough.
Take out and put on a cooling rack to cool while you make the filling.
FILLING-
1 Tbs unflavored gelatin
2 Tbs water
1/2 cup(1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup(4 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2-1/4 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbs finely chopped crystallized ginger-optional, but highly recommended
Add the water and gelatin to a microwave safe bowl.
Heat in the microwave briefly on low power to dissolve the gelatin. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
Add half of the powdered sugar and beat.
Add the gelatin and mix in.
Add the rest of the powdered sugar and mix til creamy.
Stir in the ginger, if using.
Spread the filling on the bottom side of half of the cookies.
Top with other half.
To store, separate layers with paper towels or wrap each whoopie pie in plastic wrap. Otherwise they will stick to each other.
You will get about 2 dozen whoopie pies.
The gelatin can be found with the jello or in the baking aisle.
It seems to help stabilize the filling.
Whoopie pies are two soft chocolate cookies sandwiched together with a creamy vanilla filling.
Very, very yummy!
The cookie dough may seem more like a cake batter, but that is the way it is supposed to be.
Trust me.
You will need a large bowl for your cookie dough.
You will also need a second bowl for the filling.
You will need cookie sheets.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ingredients:
cookies-
1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup sour milk
1 cup hot water
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup cocoa powder
filling-
2 egg whites
4 Tablespoons flour
4 Tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3-1/2 cups plus 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar, divided
1-1/2 cups shortening
For the cookies-
Cream the shortening and sugar together.
Add the cocoa powder and the eggs, egg yolks, and hot water.
Mix well.
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sour milk and beat in until smooth.
With a spoon or medium size cookie scoop, drop cookies onto cookie sheets.
Try and put even numbers on each sheet so you will know you will not end up with an odd number of cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool.
While they cool, make your filling.
To make the filling:
Beat together the egg whites, flour, milk, vanilla extract, 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar and the shortening. It won't get really smooth and that's OK.
Beat in the remaining powdered sugar until the filling is very creamy.
To assemble, spread the filling on the flat side of one cookie. Take another cookie and put it flat side against the filling to make a sandwich.
You will end up with about 34 good size whoopie pies. Maybe more, if you make them smaller.
To store them, make sure to put a paper towel in between each layer to prevent sticking.
You're gonna love them!
I never met a whoopie pie I didn't like and the oatmeal variety is no exception.
