The cake is so soft and moist and the raspberry filling is scrumptious!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Whoopie pies are a fun dessert for both kids and adults. Who wouldn't want to eat cake-like cookies with a marshmallow filling sandwiched between them? In this recipe, the cookie has a rich vanilla flavor. The raspberry marshmallow cream inside is sweet, but a tad tart from the raspberry jam in the filling. When combined, it's a wonderful cookie. We made the cookies with 2 Tbsp of batter as suggested and created a larger whoopie pie. You could easily reduce it to 1 Tbsp of batter per cookie for more of a bite-sized dessert.
