Hi Gale! Crinkles aren’t necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes if a little extra flour gets in it can cause this.

I’m not sure what I did wrong, but the cookies did not come out smooth and rounded. The tops were crinkly but still had a cake-like texture. I’ve used other Whoopie pie recipes and have no issue.

I make this recipe often to donate to the local fire company bake sale. I always get lots of compliments. I have used both buttermilk and the buttermilk substitute. Both work well.

I wouldn’t make it as a full cake, you might be interested in my ding dong cake, though, the idea is similar and the filling is the same 🙂

Can this be made as a cake instead of cookies?

I was so happy to find this recipe! Pittsburgh region growing up. This is exactly my grandmother’s recipe for GOBS! How we grandchildren loved her for making them! Grandma used BlueBonnet or Imperial margarine in the filling. Once you whip it enough it whitens. I smiled when i saw the flour paste base and the buttermilk in the chocolate cookie, then I knew i found “the recipe”! You are a blessing! Thank you.

Hi Melissa! Yes it’s only 5 minutes at 450. They are relatively thin so bake quickly. 🙂

Want to be sure that 450 degrees for only 5 minutes is correct. I was thinking the cake would need longer in the oven.

Hi Angela! I would be very hesitant to save the dough that long in the refrigerator. The safer route would be to freeze them. You could even bake, assemble and then freeze them. 🙂

I have been making a similar version from my family for years. Do you know how long the dough will last in the fridge before baking. We have guests coming in a few days a part and I wanted to make a large batch of dough and just bake half now and then again in 5 days? I am not as pleased with freezing? Or I could bake all the cookies and freeze them and make a small batch of filling on the day I pull them out. Thoughts?

Hi Alexa! Without having tried it, it’s going to be tough to say exactly how to do it. 🙁

I would love to make a vanilla version. Could you suggest some tweaks I’d make to achieve this? We have made your pies like 20 times, thank you for your amazing recipes! 😊

Hi Alyssa! If you check the container for your buttermilk powder, it will tell you how much water to add to equal liquid buttermilk. The dry powder isn’t meant to be used by itself, which is why you had issues here, unfortunately 🙁 Hope that helps!

You might want to specify to use liquid buttermilk. It didn’t say so I assumed it was powdered buttermilk and the mix is SUPER thick. Just a suggestion!

Best filling reciepe

Never heard them called Gobs but very close to my Grandmother/Mothers old Fashioned New England Authentic Whoopie Pie recipe. Except we cooked the paste in a double boiler and then refrigerated it. I think our recipe is a double or triple batch since it was a lot of work -might as well make a lot. Traditionally wrapped individually in waxed paper and some could be frozen. My mom used to send them to my father when he was deployed

Ive successfully frozen them (wrapped individually) and they were still perfect upon thawing. Sorry for your loss.

Hi Lori! Personally I like them fully assembled and refrigerated. They will do well in an air tight container in the refrigerator, but if you’d like to assemble them later you can make the filling and cookies in advance. The filling will need to stay refrigerated. I’m sorry for your loss. 🙁

We’d like to make this for my mom’s funeral. She loved gobs but wasn’t a baker. Can we make cookies and filling ahead of time? We have to travel for the funeral. and then assemble when we get there? There would be about a 2 day delay. Your advice? We won’t have a kitchen on site.
