Whoopie Pie

Despite its name, whoopie pie is actually an enlarged cookie sandwich consisting of two soft chocolate cake cookies with a sweet and fluffy white filling sandwiched in between. It is believed that whoopie pie has a Pennsylvania Amish origin, although today it is extremely popular throughout New England, especially in Maine. According to the Amish, when children would find this sweet treat in their lunch bags, they used to shout “Whoopie!“, hence the name.
