These are absolutely delicious! The cakes made up better than I was expecting, they were pretty well perfect. It was unclear how large the drops needed to be on the cookie sheet and how far apart they needed to be, I did about a tablespoon-size and a couple inches apart, which worked out perfect. I had my oven at 340 Fahrenheit convect, and they were done in about 9 minutes. I let them cool on the cookie sheet about 5 minutes, and transferred to cookie rack. The filling however, did not work for me at all! I didn't have enough shortening, so I substituted butter instead, and the filling emulsified and melted butter got everywhere. But, it was still extremely delicious. The recipe made a whopping 32 whoopie pies, way more than I was expecting! Next time I will probably either make just a meringue for the filling, or whipped cream. But, very tasty!
