Return of the Whoopie Pie!

Whoopie Pie!



This is my husband’s favorite dessert! I received this recipe from my wonderful and talented sister-in-law, Peg, at my bridal shower. I posted it to my blog in March, but am reposting it to submit to Joelen’s Holiday Cookie Swap Adventure (www.joelens.blogspot.com)

Peg makes these delicious cookies every year…I can’t wait to enjoy them during Christmas with the Beechy family. :)
