Those men.... I can not really call someone protecting our country boys, are in for some great eating. Great job NEPAS! :)
They look great...
Whoopie Pie Recipe (This can be doubled)
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup cocoa (dutch processed kind if you can find)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk (use whole milk)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease baking sheets. (I use crisco baking spray with the flour in it)
In a large bowl, cream together shortening, sugar, and egg. In another bowl, combine cocoa, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a small bowl, stir the vanilla extract into the milk. Add the dry ingredients to the shortening mixture, alternating with the milk mixture; beating until smooth.
Drop batter by the 1/4 cup (to make 18 cakes) onto prepared baking sheets. With the back of a spoon spread batter into 3 to 4-inch circles, leaving approximately 2 inches between each cake. Bake 15 minutes or until they are firm to the touch. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Make Whoopie Pie Filling. When the cakes are completely cool, spread the flat side (bottom) of one chocolate cake with a generous amount of filling. Top with another cake, pressing down gently to distribute the filling evenly. Repeat with all cookies to make 9 pies. Wrap whoopie pies individually in plastic wrap, or place them in a single layer on a platter (do not stack them, as they tend to stick).
Whoopie Pie Filling:
1 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups Marshmallow Fluff
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a medium bowl, beat together shortening, sugar, and Marshmallow fluff; stir in vanilla extract until well blended.
Wrap each whoopie in plastic wrap. These freeze well also.

Thanks nepas, I'm going to try your recipe. Just got to get some fluff.
I have tasked my 15yo daughter with this recipe for the weekend.
Thanks nepas.
Nepas,
Thanks, these are awesome. I just inhaled one while filling them.
Deb
We made these the other day. They were G R E A T !!
PS. We doubled the cake part, and then the ^%$#@ store only had 1 jar of fluff, so we used a 1x recipe for the filling. We still had enough!
sorry no pics.
