Is it a cookie, a pie, a sweet sandwich, a cake? Whatever you call it, we're big fans of Whoopie pies. That's why our recipe for chocolate cookies sandwiching marshmallow creme is always going to be the perfect nostalgic treat. After you make and bake the cookies, let them cool completely on baking sheets on wire racks. We then simplify our instructions—and save you time—by using store-bought marshmallow creme (you're welcome). The recipe makes 18 Whoopie pies and should take just under 40 minutes to finish. Consider these perfect for presents, ideal for cookie swaps... or to keep all for yourself!
