How to Make the Most Impressive Whoopie Pies at Home 

This reminds me of old cooking shows, lots of witty talking and education. Loved it.

Made these for my wife today as a surprise. She’s from Maine and she approves! And being a total disaster in the kitchen usually they weren’t to difficult for me to put together. They are delicious and very filling.

"Jimmy Hoffa is in the divot." I love you guys!

I don't care where they originated from I'm from lancaster county Pa and no offense to anyone but no one can make them like the little old Pa Dutch Ladies, I buy them from a farm stand owned by old order Mennonites and her woopie pies are the best! 😋😋😋

Even if they are making something I don’t like I still have to watch because they are so entertaining.

FINALLY! This was my 3rd attempt at making whoopie pies and your recipe and techniques are the only ones that worked!! I didn’t realize how BIG they are supposed to be as mine kept coming out small and tall instead of big and round. They are delicious! Thank you for this great tutorial!

I have been watching you both for years! Love the chemistry of the two of you....or should I say humor you two are awesome. And I love your recipes.....and this one I am going to make this weekend! HURRAY!

I like this recipe! Butter, Brown sugar, & buttermilk always make things better, and the butter in the filling...excellent!

My Mom made fantastic whoopie pies, and this is nothing like her recipe. IMHO, the best filling is an old fashioned cooked filling. That's the traditional filling for this native Mainah!

Loved it..!!!! Thanks for sharing how to make them since they are really expensive to buy them on the market. I plan to make some and ship them to my sons in NH and Cali. Both love Whoopie Pies...

I love this recipe. Thank. You for showing me. How to make it💖💖

Thanks for these wonderful recipes

I just had my first whoopie pie a few days ago when I flew to Maine for my college graduation! I’m from the west coast, never heard of this and never even been to the east coast before. My school alumni association gave me one as part of their welcome. It was a pumpkin whoopie pie with cream cheese filling, OMG! I’m hooked! I generally don’t like cake but this thing is amazing. My new favorite dessert! This reminds me that it’s important to travel within my own country and get to know it, its people, and what they like.

I made these and I only ended up with 7 wafers (cakes?) and they were MASSIVE. Definitely recommend cutting down the portioning from 1/3 cup to something more like 3 tablespoons.

ATK really is the best place to learn new recipes and cooking techniques.

I will use this recipe. I can’t wait to try it!

The Whoopie Pie is the official state bird and the official state flower of Maine.

Love this recipe. You always choose authenticity. Thank you. Do you have a video recipe for Black Forest Cake?

If you really wanted to make the filling bright white, you could add a tiny drop of purple food coloring to it... I believe that is what they do in grocery stores to make that pure white butter cream frosting.

Those whoopie pies are looking great and must be so delicious too.

I will definitely have to try this recipe. I love your mixer. My old KitchenAid is on its last legs. Your mixer doesn't have an angry, grinding sound like mine does.

That filling would be awesome with some cream cheese.

Well I just bought a package of these last night at Whole Foods for almost $7.00 for only 4 . Definitely worth making these at home , it’s easy Peary.

Any tips on how these will bake at high altitude and baked in a convection oven? Thanks !

They’re called **Gobs** !! in some parts of Pennsylvania they are called Gobs. Western areas

Thanks for sharing

Jimmy Hoffa joke was worth RU-vid existing.

I usually buy Whoopie Pies from my grocery store but I think that they are using a different recipe. Maybe one weekend I'll make these.

Yay Whoopi’s pies!🎉

I love them whoopie pies with a class ice cold milk.

That is a large whoopie pie - looks yummy! What is the diameter of the pie? Do you recommend a whoopie pie pan? Thanks

As a native of Salem MA., now in Palm Springs CA. why not Crisco in the filling???? That's how my mom made them. I've used the Fluff recipe that now uses butter, but we prefer the shortening version better.

damn those look fire

Can you use Sweetex shortening in place of the butter to make this a shelf stable product? Would I need to add anything to it?

I think the filling would be great as a nice little dip with some chocolate cookies to curb that sweet tooth.

Hi I love this please récipe in spanish 😍😍🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪

That is THE perfect whoopie!

Umm, I’ve had a kitchenaid mixer for over 25 years. It gets used. Every serious cook, and some not so, have one. That being said, you could use a hand mixer also. Or a wooden spoon. But it’s a workout to cream the butter and brown sugar to the correct consistency. I always made my younger brother do it.

Why do Bridget and Julia always seem like they hate each other? Like their chemistry never seems like banter ...

I probably wouldn't have transferred the filling into another Bowl to chill I live alone and don't like doing dishes LOL

Would these chocolate layers work for ice cream sandwiches? I'm looking for something softer than a cookie.

If you Whip ur Butter till it’s Super light and Fluffy for a few minutes.. You Frosting should turn out More White. 😊

shortening is more authentic and freezes better than butter

This is my favorite sweet.

I have to get my wife to make some thanks

PA all the way Pa Dutch & Amish

What I can do to make the filling more thick

Moody's Diner in Waldoboro, Maine has the best whoopie pies in the world. So there, PA!!!!!!

We used to also dust them with powdered sugar.

I've never heard of using marshmallow fluff in the filling before

Whatever did happen to Chris Kimball ?? Thank you.

Filling I use is marshmallow fluff confectionery sugar vanilla and shortening not butter. If you want that old fashion taste it's got to be shortening

Did I miss the heat setting on the oven or was that left out on purpose

Ok to use milk with lemon juice for buttermilk?

You've made a sandwich cookie, not a whoopie pie. :( (from central PA) All the good ones I've ever had were cake-like with something more like light frosting in the middle, never anything marshmallow fluff-related!

Can you make a video on other flavors of Whoopi’s pies

Honest question, how the heck do you accurately measure marshmallow fluff?

Why aren't sites, recipes, videos & such not taken down when they are not accessible anymore? This is a bummer & now I must look @ making someone else's Whoopies😊

I lived in Pennsylvania for 8 years and then we moved to North Carolina and I asked people where I could get Whoopie Pies and everyone here was like “tf are you talking about?” Literally so I had to learn how to make them bc NC doesn’t have them

How can I make a funfetti whoopie pie for my kiddos? Leave out the cocoa and add more flour?

Could you double this recipe to make 12?

I tried the recipe but my woopie pies rose too might. What did I do wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

it looks chewy. is it chewy? like do you need a glass of milk next to you, basically, when you're eating this? or can we add an egg yolk and some oil or something and make it a bit fudgier or is that definitely not ok please help I'm still new to making nice food..

I thought I read “how to make the most expensive Whoopi’s pies”.

Should we make sure it's ...... "incorporated"?

hi

"Jimmy Hoffa's in the divot."

How to make marshmallow fluff?

A tiny tiny drop of purple food coloring will help whiten that filling up for the people who want whiter filling.

Oooooh..... 🤤

Usually love their stuff, but they missed on this one.

OK, but the heavy butter taste in the filling isn't great.

I just made these and they are good but there's a major flaw in the process. DO NOT refrigerate your filling before you place it between the cookies. It gets too hard and when you put the two sides together it will crack your cookies and they will start to fall apart. Instead, make the filling and scoop some directly onto the cookies and put them together. I have no idea why they thought it should be chilled first because as you can see in the video, they do this and it cracks the cookies right on camera.

Invented in the Appalchian Souht. Got and RC cola? (Say it right "appa latch un")

Use "black cocoa" Yes, it's a thing

My grandma is rolling in her grave about now, fooling around with the whoopie pie recipe is a mortal sin

Those ladies are cute

That's a moon pie

I miss Chris

It’s a cookie cake, there’s nothing pie about it.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all ~

Vegetable shortening is for barbarians. Would a neutral-tasting leaf lard or rendered suet tallow be a decent substitute for the butter, if butter is unavailable for some reason?

Today is sanctity of Life Sunday. Gods heart. Child sacrifice takes place and christians need to care. Judgement begins at the house of God.

You're supposed to fill it with real whip cream, that's what Italians do.

Are you speaking on Sanctity of Life Sunday for the unborn most innocent? Are you making a plea for them? IF christians don't who will??

Looks tasty but diabetics need insulin after watching. Be warned. 🙄

They have no idea how to make proper whoopie pie batter. You don't use buttermilk and you also don't use butter - just oil.

that filling is disgusting

Recipes like this one are ludicrous. To make it, would have to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a standing mixer which would very seldom be used. Looks like a great recipe but very impractical for the average viewer.
