Whoopie Pies are quintessential New England fare. While I am sure they are available outside this area of the US, I have yet find anyone living in other areas who were familiar with these delectable sweets. Have you heard of them? My darling mother provided me with this recipe a dozen or so years ago.
Humor me. Will you?
First, mix flour, sugar, shortening, egg yolks, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Don't over mix!
Next, drop by 1/8 cup measures onto a greased baking pan. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
Pour yourself a glass of wine while these babies cool. Keep the wine handy, 'cause this is going to come in handy later. Ok?
Now, you may start on the frosting. Here you will use use powdered sugar, vanilla, (more!) shortening, and your left over egg whites. Beat until things are smooth and you see soft peaks.
