This is our new favorite cookie! One suggestion: put them in the refrigerator to firm up the filling, then set out to soften a little before eating.

not bad, but not as soft as i expected. Not very lemony, next time i will increase the lemon. They are a lot softer the 2nd day.

My first attempt at this kind of cookie; I was very pleased with the results! A very rich cookie---one does it for me. I thought the filling was just right. I stored them in a plastic container overnight---they were softer the next day. Do try this recipe!

Wow! These are great. Very sweet and rich, but that makes you savor every bite! I took them to work and they were a big hit!

I've tried several different whoopie pie recipes lately and these were the best. The amount of filling in the recipe was perfect for the number of cookies I got from the dough. I used a # 40 (3/4 oz) disher-scooper for the dough and the filling and ended up with 21 whoopie pies. My cookies were soft - just right. I'm thinking maybe lclark58 might have pressed them too thin or baked too long. Wrapped individually in plastic, these are great for snacks on the go.

My friends and family all gave good reviews of this recipe. Next time I will use a little less butter and a little more marshmallow creme in the filling. Bottom line: delicious & impressive. Nice with a cup of tea.

My family loved these. They are pretty sweet and rich, so you can't eat too many at once. But the flavor is excellent, and the texture is perfect.

These are very tasty, but should be called sandwich cookies as they are not soft like a whoopie pie.

This is my families new all time favorite. Everyone loves the soft cookie with an amazingly beautiful flavor. These were enjoyed by grandparents and grandkids as well. We did find that we would enjoy them just as well with only a single cookie that was frosted instead of sandwiching them. Delicious ! We will enjoy these for years to come and recommend everyone add this one to you recipe box !!
