Whoopie Pies

Today is National Eskimo Pie day, so to celebrate, here is my recipe for Whoopie Pies.

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup butter

1/2 cup unsweetend cocoa powder

1 egg

1/2 cup hot water

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup peanut butter

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup milk

Directions:

1. Cream together 1 cup of the butter and the egg. Add 1 cup white sugar, vanilla, and hot water. Stir in the flour, cocoa, and baking soda and mix well.

2. Drop by the teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Sandwich cookies together with Peanut Butter Filling.

3. Peanut Butter Filling: Blend 1 tablespoon butter with peanut butter. Stir in confectioners' sugar and add enough milk to make the filling soft enough to spread. Spread between the flat sides of two cookies and sandwich together.
