24 Reviews of Chocolate Whoopie Pies

These were pretty good! They definitely tasted better the next day. We thought the filling was too sweet, but the cookie was just right. For some reason, the first day you could really taste the salt in the cookie, rather than it just enhancing the chocolate flavor, but by the next day it was less noticeable. I had a little problem with the dough. I followed the directions exactly, but the dough was more like cake batter, very loose and there was no way I could have rolled it into balls so I used a small scoop instead. It worked fine. I roughly measured the scoops to be an inch and a half but still the recipe only yielded me 16 total whoopie pies, which was no where near the 3 dozen I needed and thought I would get. I suppose if I make the scoops even smaller I would have had more, but then it would have been a mini-whoopie pie. I am going to keep the cookie portion of the recipe and see if I can figure out how to make a fluffier, less sweet filling. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Oh my these are habit forming. I used the mint option and added a drop of green food coloring to the filling. The cookies were made with 1/2 Splenda and 1/2 sugar. These are going to be the hit of my cookie tray.

I was going to make these for a party at day care. My batter was also too soft to roll and I ended up using the scoop which yielded about a dozen pies. I had to change horses in mid-stream and made chocolate cupcakes for the party. I put my extra chocolate frosting as the whoopie pie filling and my chocoholic grandson and boss loved them! If I made these again, I would definately double the recipe and perhaps pipe them out with a pastry bag. I would probably use the chocolate frosting again too.

This recipe is different than the whoopie pies I usually make. They were a hit though, will make again and again...

I made these ages ago and totally forgot to review them. Silly me. I must have been awestruck with these wonderful cookies that its taken me so long. Haha. Well maybe not but they were a big hit at a party, very tasty, simple to make and lasted really well in the fridge after. Will definately be making these again and again.

My niece Margaret made these yesterday. Didn't have time to make the filling so we made icecream sandwiches. Delicious!!! Thank you Parsley, for a winner.

Moist and yummy are two words to describe these wonderful little gems. I only ate part of one, but my men ate two. They don't taste low fat at all, although they are very filling! I made just as stated and found they were quick and easy. Next time I think I'll add some color to the filling just for the fun of it. Thanks for sharing.

I gave this recipe 5 stars for three reasons- they were easy to make, they were way healthier then any other recipe I could find and they tasted great! The dough was rather stiff at the end of mixing. So, they rolled out into balls just fine. I made the cookie part the night before. I made the filling, I used a Seven Minute Frosting recipe, the day of the party. I assembled and refrigerated a few hours before the party. They held together just fine. My only complaint would be the quantity of servings stated. That was way off, like others have said. I rolled my dough into 1 inch balls and flattened them pretty well. I ended up with 40 two inch wide cookies. I needed 40 'pies' for my party. So, I used a serrated knife and sliced each one open, like a hamburger bun. Then filled them. They were really the perfect size ( see my photo with three pies and a quarter on a plate for reference) just a couple of bites. I just had a Whoopie Pie for the first time last week in a restaurant. I loved the idea, but theirs was terrible! Thanks to Parsley, mine rock!

I made these to take to the office for a St. Paddy's Day lunch. I tinted the filling green. They dissappeared fast! What a hit! They are much less sticky and oily than traditional whoopies. The office demands that I bring these in again soon.
