A tried and true recipe. It isn't just a Maine recipe. They have been a long time recipe here in Pennsylvania since I was a kid. These are sold at local markets and especially by the Amish. Mmm..good. -
thanks so much this recipe was awesome!!! i think my husband loves whoopie pies more than me lol... he loves them so do all the kids. i have 6 had to double the batch . made enough extra filling that i stuck the extra in the freezer and secretly nibble it a teaspoon at a time.. GREAT RECIPE !!!! -
Just wasn't my favorite - not chocolate-y enough for me. Sorry, I just thought they were average. -
It's not just a Maine thing! I grew up in Pennsylvania and we called them "Gobs". Now, 21 years later, I see the same recipe going around and it has many different names but the recipe is the same. This is an absolutely wonderful little cookie!! Thanks! -
This whoopie pie is really bad. The cookie come out so hard to eat except the cream and a little too sweet. I will never make this again.
