• Ingredients
• 4 cups flour

• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 cup of shortening
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla
• 2 eggs

Directions

1. Preparing the Cakes

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, cocoa, and baking soda. Mix and set aside. In another bowl, combine the sugar, shortening and eggs. Beat for about two minutes. Mix the dry ingredients with the egg mixture and add the warm water and milk and beat at a medium speed for two to three minutes. Add the vanilla and beat until the ingredients are thoroughly blended. Bake the batter as drop cookies. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased non-stick cookie sheets. Bake in a preheated oven at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes or until the center of the “cookies” spring back when lightly pressed. Remove from the cookie sheets and cool a wire rack.

3. Preparing the Filling

4. Beat the egg whites until stiff then set them aside. Combine the other ingredients and beat vigorously for several minutes at a high speed. Fold in the beaten egg whites.

5. Whoopie Pie Assembly

6. Spread a generous amount of filling on a completely cooled cookie and then top with another cookie. To preserve your newly created treat, wrap each whoopie pie individually in plastic wrap.
