Let's Make Whoopie!!!

German Chocolate Whoopie Pies

So, Its after the Christmas holidays and I dont know if you all are like me but I have a ton of stuff that I rarely use left over. You buy a 5 pound bag of flour for that one recipe that calls for a 1 cup... As you all know I am NOT a baker... but I was chatting with one of my friends at Cool Pink who is a FABULOUS baker and it inspired me to try. Keesha of kdRs says that the reason that I cant bake has a lot to do with the fact that I simply do NOT follow the recipe. Well, I did it... I followed the direction and some that I made up and POooF!!! I made Whoopie!!!

What you will need for the cookie cake

2oz unsweetened chocolate
4oz semi sweet chocolate
1 stick butter
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoons salt

Set your over to 375. Line your cookie sheets with Parchment paper.
In a glass bowl melt your chocolates and butter in the microwave or you can use a double boiler.
Once melted whisk in sugar, eggs and vanilla into chocolate mixture
Sift in your flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
Mix well but do not over mix.
Scoop onto lined cookie sheet... and bake for 6 minutes ONLY!!!

While there baking you can make the filling

1 cup evaporated milk
5 egg YOLKS
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
2 cups coconut flacks
1-2 cups pecans

Over very low heat add your slightly beaten egg yolks, milk, sugar, butter and vanilla. Once butter has melted raise the heat and allow to thicken... stir for about 10 minutes and then take off heat and allow to cool.

Once cool you can add your pecans and coconut. My husband also added some chocolate chips to his for an extra twist.

This little whoopies were gooey and delicious... I am going to enjoy them while I can cause just like Millions of Americans I am going on a serious diet in the New Year!!!

Cheers!
