The whoopie strikes back.

One of my first blog entries was about chocolate chip whoopie pies. Since then I have made them quite a lot and have received a lot of compliments on them!! Well, this evening I "slaved" over a hot stove in this heat to make tons of them! I wouldn't do it for anyone else but my husband, whose birthday is tomorrow! I always make a big deal out of birthdays and enjoy going a little out of my way to celebrate :-)

I thought I would pass the recipe on so everyone can enjoy them!!


Chocolate Chip Whoopie Recipe:

Sift together 2 1/4 cups flour, 1 1/2 teasp baking powder, and 1/2 teasp salt

In a mixer beat together 4 tables butter (at room temp), 4 tables veg shortening, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. Beat until creamy. Add 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup buttermilk. Beat until combined.

Add 2 tables milk, 1 teasp baking soda, 1/2 teasp vanilla extract and 1 teasp white vinegar to the mixture. Slowly add in the flour mixture until combined. Stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips.

Drop 1 tables of batter onto a cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 for 7-10 mins.

Filling is 4 oz cream cheese at room temp, 4 tables unsalted butter, 3 1/2 cups confect sugar and 1 teasp vanilla extract

Enjoy!

And Happy Birthday to a very thoughtful, generous and caring partner, Jeff!! We're lucky to have you!! And Happy Birthday to my mom, who pretty much is the best mom ever :-)
