Tips For Whoopie Pies
Do Whoopie Pies Need to be Refrigerated?
Whoopie Pies will need to be refrigerated, especially if filled with icings made with cream cheese, butter or cream cheese.
Can You Freeze Whoopie Pies?
Whoopie Pies can be frozen. You will need to place them in the freezer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. After frozen, wrap each one individually and place back in the freezer. Frozen Whoopie Pies should freeze well and taste good for about 3 months.
How do You keep Whoopie Pies from becoming Sticky?
Whoopie Pies do tend to become somewhat sticky while stored. For best results, store in an airtight container, in a single layer. You can store in the refrigerator for about a week.
Halloween Whoopie Pies
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies make great Halloween Treats. After removing pies from the oven, while still slightly warm, use two chocolate chips to form eyes and one for the nose of the jack-o-lantern. Simply press the chips into the cookie. Use mini-chocolate chips to form a mouth.
