The cookie part was fantastic and exactly what I was looking for, but the filling was...honestly, "ewww" is the best I can come up with to describe it. It seemed like a lot of shortening for the amount of powdered sugar, and it is. Far, far too much. I tried mixing it for 10 minutes, and it left a greasy feeling on my tongue without being at all tasty; tried adding more powdered sugar, which cut the greasy feeling a little; tried adding more vanilla, which resulted in a vanilla-flavored greasy feeling; and, finally, gave up and made buttercream frosting and filled them with that.I have no idea how the filling works for anyone. I will note that I don't like Oreo filling because it tastes like shortening to me, so maybe if I did, I'd have been more positive about this? Anyhow, like I said, cookie part was great.

I was looking for a recipe similar to what I used to eat as a kid and these are the best. The cakes are perfect - they puff nicely as mini's. I prefer to fill them with peanut butter frosting. :)

These were incredible. I was looking for a scratch recipe and not a cake mix and this was so perfect. It seems like it would take a long time but doesn't really. I used crisco for the cookie and half butter half crisco for the filling. I was imagining a icing filling but it was more like a stiff pudding taste..like vanilla. They are so good. I tinted the filling green for Saint Patty's Day. Will def. make again!!

Whoopie Pies have now become something I 'have' to make every year at Christmas because I did when my kids were in their teens and gave them out to their friends. Now it's for each family. They don't last long.
