Whoopie Pies



So I'm on the search to find a recipe for whoopie pies like the ones you can buy in the North End in Boston. They are soft and chocolaty and filled with a creamy marshmallow-like frosting. MMMM!!!!

 shortening, brown sugar, eggs, cocoa...

 flour, baking soda, baking powder...

 spoon onto greased cookie sheets

 spread out into circles

 filling: shortening, powdered sugar, fluff, vanilla

 They came out a little flat, so maybe I won't spread them out so much next time. 
They should be a little bit thicker

 Put the filling on one cookie

 Smooooosh it together!

 Delicious! 

Overall they tasted amazing. I made two different fillings and liked the one with less fluff in it. The cookies were soft and chewy. I will try to make them thicker next time. 
Still in search for the PERFECT recipe!
