I've never made Whoopie Pies before, so have nothing to compare them to, but I think these are really good. I substituted one cup of whole wheat flour for the all purpose flour and they taste great. Nice cake texture, good chocolate flavor. This recipe makes a lot and I couldn't make them all at once. The first batch of each baking session the cookies came out flat. Subsequent batches were round and looked the way they should. I figured out that the baking sheets need to be warm first so I put the baking sheets in the oven when I was pre-heating it. that fixed the problem. I used a different filling recipe so can't rate that.

Fantastic!!!! The smells coming from the kitchen were heavenly enough, and then the taste was even better!! Easy, delicious, extra-wonderful. I made a big batch for Christmas gifts this year and they were a huge hit.

This is my standard pizza dough recipe. I have made this recipe two ways. The first time I made it I let it rise first. My family didn't like it. It was too thick and bread-like. The next time I did not let it rise first and my family liked it much better. I cut the flour to 2 1/2 cups and cut the sugar to 1 tsp and that improved the recipe. My bread making tip is to always proof the yeast first. Add the yeast to the warm water and sugar and let sit for a few minutes until the yeast begins to foam. Then add dry ingredients and oil. This ensures that the yeast is still alive and will actually work in your recipe.
