Lemony Gingerbread Whoopie Pies
These spiced-just-right whoopie pies combine two popular flavors in one fun treat. The moist cookies are rolled in sugar before baking for a bit of crunch. —Jamie Jones, Madison, Georgia

These cookies are so good. Love them. I have made them several times . Substituted the lemon extract with vanilla a couple of times, both are really good.
This are the very best.
These were absolutely delicious!! The subtle taste of lemon with the ginger and cinnamon was so good. I usually make chocolate whoopie pies cuz I'm a chocoholic but these are my new favorite!!
This was a great cookie; however I think rolling the dough in sugar before forming the cookie made them too sweet.
These are delicious. These are even great without the filling.
Yummy! I usually make chocolate Whoopie Pies for the kids' snack after the first day of school. Our granddaughter was to be here after her first day of 1st grade, and she loves ginger so I tried these. Success! She loved them. I was short of marshmallow so used a cream cheese frosting which was delicious. Definitely a favorite in this family.
