For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of vegetable oil. Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the cookie dough for extra texture and flavor. Store the assembled whoopie pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as maple or almond, in the filling. If you don't have shortening, you can use softened butter as a substitute in the filling.

Jan 27, 2025The filling was a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the amount of confectioners' sugar by 1/4 cup.
