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.
