| Whoppie Pie Cookie Dough |
Scoop mounds of dough about 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Then bake the pie halves, switching racks half way through during the baking, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean, 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the pans before transferring to rack or wax paper for final cooling.

Assembly
For assembling the whoopie pies. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a circle tip (or use a ziplock bag with the corner cut off) or with a butter knife. Dollop the filling onto half of the pie halves and spread light to the sides. Top the filled pie with the remaining other pie half and press down slightly. Store in an air tight container and Enjoy!
