I made this recipe a long time ago and it was delicious, even with the marshmallow cream. My family ate them up. I would definitely make these again.

I agree with Scrapper_G about the filling. Im also from Pa Dutch Country and grew up eating my mom's Whoopie Pies. I would never put marshmallow anything in a real Whoopie Pie. I live in Cleveland now and whenever I would mention this cookie, most had never heard of it including my husband. Now they are his favorite cookie and he asks for them every Christmas from my mom, even after our divorce.

I maut say DANG these were good. The first time I made them it was as the recipe called for, but the second time I made them it was with the filling from the Pumpkin Whoopie recipe and it made these even better! Big hit with husband and coworkers.....and myself, mostly ;)

I still like my own recipe for the filling better. Here in PA Dutch Country the following is the most commonly used recipe for the filling:

Whoopie Pie Filling

3/4 cup shortening

2-1/2 to 3 cups sifted 10X sugar

1 egg white (or use dry egg white powder & reconstitute)

1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat shortening and 1 cup 10X sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg white and vanilla. Beat in enough remaining sugar to make a good, fluffy spreading consistency.
