What is a whoopie pie?
If you’re a cook, then you’ve likely heard the term “whoopie pie” before, but what exactly is it? A whoopie pie is a type of dessert made from two round pieces of cake-like dough sandwiched together with a creamy filling. They are typically eaten cold or at room temperature and are most commonly found in parts of the United States where they originated. Although there is some debate over who invented the first whoopie pie, they have been around since at least the 1920s. So if you’re looking for a new dessert to add to your repertoire, be sure to give these little guys a try!

For an extra special touch, you can use any buttercream flavor or roll the sides in festive colored sprinkles. I like using sparkling sugar to dress these whoopie pies up even more, but if it’s not too much work, adding mix-ins such as crushed candy canes would also be great!
