    Gingerbread Whoopie Pies – So Wrong, and Yet So Right

    Admittedly, the witch joke at the beginning of the video
    may have been a little graphic, but that’s what I always think of when I hear the
    legend of how these cookies supposedly got their name. As the story goes, when
    these sweet treats first made their appearance, people that tasted them were so
    taken by the sheer awesomeness, that they went nuts and started running around
    shouting, “Whoopie!! Whoopie!!” 


    Sure they did. This seems very exaggerated, but no matter
    how they got the “whoopie” part, at least the rest of the name is not accurate
    either. That’s right, not only is this cookie not a pie, this pie isn’t even a
    cookie…it’s really a little cake. Confused? Me too, and I just wrote that.

    Anyway, despite the dubious name, and the other dubious
    name, at least the gingerbread part is accurate. Although, now that I think
    about it, it’s not really a ”bread”…okay, this has to stop. With holiday cookie
    exchanges in full swing, the only thing I can say with certainty is that these
    whatever-they-are’s were very delicious, fun to make, and I hope you give them
    a try soon. Enjoy!


    Ingredients for 9 to 12 finished Gingerbread Whoopie Pies
    (depending on the size!)
    2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (10 ounces by weight)
    1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    2 rounded teaspoons ground ginger (3 if you like it spicy)
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1/2 cup dark molasses
    1 egg, beaten
    1/3 cup vegetable oil
    1/3 cup boiling water
    Bake at 350ºF or about 12 minutes
    For the filling (makes extra!):
    1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
    2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    1/4 cup butter, room temperature
    2 tsp cream or milk
    1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
    *you can adjust texture by adding more powdered sugar or
    milk
