love whoopie pies
Whoopie pies are amazing. An even easier way making them are to take a box of cake mix and follow directions on the box. Next add about 1 cup of flour. Bake your ccokies, when cooled, add your cream filling. You can use any cake mix you like, they are great with any flavor. Carrot cake is my favorite. Enjoy!!!

Pretty Good
These have a pretty good flavor. They were very easy and quick make. I substituted half of the white flour for whole wheat and half of the sugar for Splenda. I suggest pressing each cookie with a moist fork after they come out of the oven to help flatten them. The tops of the cookies tend to slide on the marshmallow creme, and some of it oozes out of the sides. I suggest storing in the refrigerator.

Messy but Tasty
As someone who is not a very good baker, I found these pies baked up really well for me. They were delicious and moist. My only complaint is the marshmallow fluff gets very sticky. And, even though I put them in the fridge, the filling all oozed out. Other than that, really yummy!

Marshmallow Dream
These tasted wonderful! Not too sweet, and a bit cakey! The only problem I ran into was spreading the creme. It was very difficult on some, and the bottoms of the cookies often got torn off.

Oh so yummy!
These are awesome if you are a marshmallow lover, which I am. I used rounded teaspoonfuls and made exactly 32 cookies. They came out looking just like the picture. I also put the marshmallow creme in a ziploc and squeezed it out as another reviewer suggested and it was much less messy and super quick. My kids loved these!

MMmmmmm Good!
I made this recipe and substituted the Marshmallow Creme for Nutella Hazelnut spread, because I had it on hand. Absolutely delicious! They are pretty small, make sure you make small drops of dough, otherwise you will only end up to 10-14 cookies like me.

A Hit!
I made them at a party and they were gone extremely fast. The only problem is the fluff is a little messy to work with. But it was worth the fuss.

Whoopie pies
OMG!!! these are sooo good! easy to make and the kids LOVE them. I have read some other reviews about this recipe and the main problem with them is that they are messy. Well, i made a solution to that! Instead of spooning on the marshmallow cream-spoon some into a small ziplock.Cut a small hole at one of the ends to make a pastry bag and squeeze out a dollop in the center. Then place on your top. I also wrapped them each individually with saran wrap because they kept sliding around-which you can see in the picture they do slide. I highly recommend trying these!!!!

You wouldnt know it was lowfat
These were awesome and my family loved them. They were gone in minutes. I ran out of marshmallow creme and filled a couple with whipped topping and they were great too.

This Whoopie Pie recipe is so light and satisfying for a chocoholic! For diabetics try replacing the butter with unsweetened applesauce and the sugar with Splenda. You'll never guess the difference unless you have a chef's palate. These are also delicious with Nutella as the filling!

Whoopie Pies
These were a hit with the kids. I teach a children's cooking class and trying to find a better alternative to the regular cookies, cakes and other desserts I was a bit skeptical but these were a HIT, messy yes but great snack.

Taste is all that matters
Delicious! Sure, mine didn't look like the picture, but my guests didn't mind one bit!

Delicious & Easy!
My first batch came out a little lumpy, the second came out very smooth like in the picture.. The second batch, the pan had been in the oven and was already warm, causing the batter to spread evenly. Great tasting, a little messy.. but very good!

Tasty Tidbits
These turned out pretty darn good. I didn't have the same problems of having lumpy cookies. You have to make sure you are using softened butter. I also mixed the dry ingredients to get out any lumps. Another tip I'd give is to kind of flatten the dough down in a round shape before you put them in the oven. Make sure you cook them long enough. I thought my first batch would set up better, but the second batch just needed one more minute to cook. I only got 20 cookies instead of 32. Maybe it meant rounded teaspoons if it wanted to get 32 cookies.

Whoppie Pies
These are very tasty and exceedingly MESSY! Mine do not look at all like the photo.. they came out smaller and lumpy looking.. I was going to put them in a collection of cookies for friends... but the mess factor may have to be considered!

Super Yummy!
These can be quite messy but they are delicious. The only thing I would warn about is the marshmallow fluff has a tendency to melt out of the cookie at room temperatures. I store these guys in the refrigerator and that tends to help and they still taste delicious at the cooler temperatures. I highly recommend this one!
