Debbie – I love how there are regional names for what we Mainers (in my case – Maine transplants) call whoopie pies! I must reiterate here though, to ensure that no one gets confused, this is NOT a recipe for whoopie pies, gobs, or any other confection that is possibly of shaker origin. Please do not use this recipe and expect a cookie with a cake-like consistency! These are more crunchy, dry, and crumbly.

In PA we call them gobs instead of whoopie pies. There are many imitations or short cuts to these delights, but the truly good ones are made with cocoa and are light in color and have a cooked cream filling and not just a vanilla frosting.

The cookies look absolutely delicious. I found this site linked from Nestles VeryBestofBaking.

Melissa – Please do let me know, and thanks for reading!

K – Actually, these only look a lot like whoopie pies – they are much too crumbly (as opposed to cake-like and velvety) to be the iconic dessert that you are talking about. I’m considering doing a whoopie pie recipe soon – being a native New Englander, it’s a dessert that brings back some fond memories.

these are Whoopie Pies, an age-old Vermont classic. origins have been debated – Shakers / Amish ?? They are becoming popular everywhere especially New England and New York.

I’ve been reading for a while, but these might push me (and my husband) over the edge. If I am pushed, I’ll be sure to let you know how they turn out. Thanks for your great recipes and beautiful photos!

Claire – Thanks for pointing out that I’d forgotten to mention that . The recipe makes between 10 and 12 sandwiches, I doubled the recipe and got 23.
