What are whoopie pies?
Little sweets known as whoopie pies are produced by sandwiching icing or buttercream between two miniature cakes rather than sandwiching sandwich cookies, as is the case with sandwich cookies. They are available in every flavor imaginable, including vanilla, chocolate, and pumpkin. Whoopie pies are frequently available at surrounding bakeries and Amish stores because they are New England natives.
