Have you heard that whoopie pies are the new cupcakes according to a New York Times article. This was the first time that I have attempted them and I have to say they were YUMMY! I don't know about replacing the cupcake, but they were a fun change! There are so many recipes out there, but I choose this "cheater" one using a cake mix because it was super easy and fast. Perfect treat to make with my boys on a Sunday afternoon. Having 5 boys who LOVE football, you can imagine these were a HUGE hit at my house! To make the football shaped cake, I simply spooned the batter onto a silpat lined cookie sheet and using the back ot the spoon created a nice oval. Really simple to make and these would be a perfect treat to serve for the Super Bowl coming up.Football Whoopie Pies

Those are SO cute Melanie! I made cake cookies last night, too... except I added half a cup of oatmeal to the batter. Griff actually told me he wished I would have made the cream center for a homemade oreo type cookie. These would be a hit for the superbowl!
ReplyDeleteThese are a perfect super bowl snack!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun idea!! I know what I'll be making for the next football party! :) Thanks sis!
ReplyDeleteHi sisters! I'm here to ask something about the ads of foodbuzz. How could you manage to put them on the blog? I've been recently trying very hard to include them into mine too, but unfortunately, I still cannot figure out how it functions. I have been to the template setting, the page elements setting (where they require url instead of html). Do you mind if you can email me the instruction or whatsoever? THANKS SO MUCH!
ReplyDelete*oh by the way, nice to meet you sisters! We're LDS from Hong Kong :)*

I just made these today. They were so good. My husband wasn't thrilled about missing out on cupcakes, now he feels it was worth it to try it. The only thing is mine were about double the size. :) Next time I've got to lay out less batter.
