I have two teenage girls learning to cook at my house, and they've had their fair share of cooking accidents. But then, ahem, so has their mother....<br /><br />Here in Maine the filling with the fluff seems to be the most popular in whoopie pies.

When I was a teenager my brother (a year younger) and friend decided they were hungry for peanut butter cookies and so started making a quadruple batch. They got stuck at the mix the liquid into the dry ingredients because they had filled the two biggest bowls in the kitchen and there was no room in either for the mixing.<br />They asked for my help and promptly left me in the kitchen alone. the cookies tasted good but I was a long time cooking them!<br />TabithaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-44261197660892640392014-04-25T19:07:37.603-07:002014-04-25T19:07:37.603-07:00I've often wondered what that little bit of co...I've often wondered what that little bit of corn syrup does in that monstrous batch of monster cookies.

That butterhorn recipe looks amazing and I shall have to try it! <br />I use the milk/cornstarch recipe for whoopie pies at home, but where I work uses an egg white one.
