Whoppie Pies


















A family favorite -

Whoppie Pies

Cookies:
1 C. sugar
1/2 C. cocoa
1/2 C. shortening
1 egg
1/2 C. sour milk
1/2 C. hot water
2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda

Cream together sugar, cocoa, shortening and egg in mixer. Add remaining ingredients and beat well. Drop by teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 (bake until firm to the touch). Remove and cool. Put 2 cookies together with whoppie pie filling. Makes about 15 whoppie pies. (I usually double the cookie recipe and make 1 1/2 batches of the icing recipe.)

Filling:
2 egg whites
1/4 C. milk
1 1/2 C. shortening
4 tabl. flour
2 tabl. vanilla
4 C. 10X sugar

Beat all ingredients together until fluffy. Wrap each whoppie pie individually in plastic wrap.

These sound great, Ruth! I've never tried to make any other kind, but I know my guys would enjoy the ones with peanut butter. And Eli and I would definitely like the pumpkin!

Have a great day!
