i have the best job ever as a stay at home mommy to three handsome young men...thanks to my hard working husband! after a full day with my boys (which i love) i can't wait for my hubby to get home so we can all sit around the table for dinner. it's a very special time for our family so i try to keep it fun and unpredictable! that is why i am on a mission to find new recipes, tweak old ones and share them with YOU!

whoopie pies

here it is, my friends....my all time favorite dessert recipe!  my mouth waters just thinking about them!  there are various recipes for whoopie pies, but this is just about the only one i will eat!  enjoy!

1/2 c. crisco
1 c. sugar
2 egg yolks (reserve whites for frosting)
5 TB. cocoa
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. milk

frosting

1/2 c. crisco
2 c. powdered sugar
2 egg whites
pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla

preheat oven to 375 degrees.  cream crisco and sugar.  add remaining ingredients and mix well.  use cookie dropper and place onto cooking sheet like you would do with cookie dough.  bake for 8-10 min.  do not over bake!  place on rack or wax paper to cool.  in the meantime, add all of the frosting ingredients and mix.  i often add more powdered sugar to thicken it up a bit more.  refrigerate until cookies are cooled.  frost one cookie and then top with another, making a sandwich!  warning:  have a glass of milk ready :-)
