Making homemade whoopie pies

3/4 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. milk
3 c. flour
3/4 c. cocoa
3/4 tsp. baking powder
2 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

In large bowl, cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add milk slowly and mix well. Combine dry ingredients and sift into batter. Drop batter by teaspoon on greased cookie sheet and bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool, then fill with whoopie pie filling.

WHOOPIE PIE FILLING:

1 c. milk
6 tbsp. flour
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla

Cook milk and flour in saucepan until thickened. Cool, and beat in remaining ingredients. Beat until filling is light and fluffy.

The recipes for both the cookies and filling are in this stupidly cute new book, Whoopie Pies. I bought it about 2 weeks ago and have made too many batches since then.

Two very important things I must note:

1. All the cookie recipes (which are really just like a cupcake top) call for shortening and butter
2. They provide the classic filling for a chocolate whoopie pie as shortening mixed with purchased Marshmallow Fluff.
