I have made these whoopie pies close to a dozen times since I found the recipe and they always turn out excellent. Everyone loves them because they are not overly sweet, but are super moist. I always add a little extra cloves or "baking spice" to make them extra spicy, just because that is the way I like them. If you beat your egg white until stiff peaks form the frosting is even fluffier. It is true that they turn out pretty much how they are put onto the cookie sheet so using a piping bag (or a ziploc bag with the corner cut off) will result in a smoother cookie top. I have never tried the cream cheese filling but I would think it would be too rich. The best part about this recipe is you can eat more than one, because they are not icky sweet.

I was expecting a rich, brownie-like cookie and what i got was more like crispy flat cookies which didnt seem to go well with the mint. I had volunteered to take these to a Christmas party but it looks like I will be making something else instead :(

I made this one for Thanksgiving. I have to say it did not rise well and stayed very compact and heavy. I could barely taste the lemon at all. I have made several cheesecakes from this site and this was my least favorite. My oldest son seemed to like it but for the money I spent making it I would have chosen another recipe I had already used before with better success
