Whoopie Pies
I found this in a supermarket mag, Originating from New England, this was a way of using leftover batter. A good one should be chewy and slightly soft with a little crispness at the edges and it has to be marshmallow filling. Try them the girls in the office loved them.
Happy Baking!!!

Aren't whoopie pies usually chocolate or some sort of flavor to them. I don't see any cocoa or other flavoring than vanilla. They sound like they must be white cake whoopie pies.
