    These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Whoopie Pies are a sweet tooth lover’s dream come true! Creamy cookie dough sandwiched between two chocolate cake cookies!

    creamy cookie dough sandwiches between two chocolate cake cookies

     

    Yesterday morning, being Valentine’s Day, I asked my hubby what he wanted for dessert. Of course, I gave him a few options since I didn’t want him pulling some elaborate concoction together, he-he. He opted for these yummy chocolate chip cookie dough whoopie pies. Two chocolate cookies with cookie dough in the middle, what is tastier than that, right?!?

    I don’t know if anything can top it as these were amazing!!!! Such a yummy treat!! The cookies had a cake like consistency and the creamy, eggless cookie dough in center brought these whoopie pies to a whole new level!

    What is a whoopie pie?

    According to Wikipedia, the whoopie pie is an American baked product that may be considered either a cookie, pie, sandwich, or cake. It is made of two round mound-shaped pieces of usually chocolate cake, or sometimes pumpkin, gingerbread or other flavored cakes, with a sweet, creamy filling or frosting sandwiched between them.

    Where did the name Whoopie Pie come from?

    Based on Pennsylvania history, Amish women invented the whoopie pie. Holding up with their custom of avoiding wasting ingredients, the women would drop excess cake batter into mounds and bake them. Then they would take two of the mounds and sandwich them together with a creamy frosting. Regardless of where the name came from, I sure am glad they are around! Such tasty treats!

    How long are these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Whoopie Pies good for?

    Once assembled, these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Whoopie Pies are good for about 2-3 days!

    If you have the cookies in one container and the cookie dough in another container, you can store each for one week. Cookie dough should be stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
