  1. I made these for my family and I think they were the most successful thing I have ever baked for them. Very time consuming, but an excellent reward. I used blueberries that I picked myself, so they were extra special. I also made them vegan (substituted vegan margarine, sour cream, and Ener-G egg replacer) and they came out wonderfully.
     
  2. Very neat idea for whoopie pies!! I love the cookie part of this, the spices are delicious and the cookie is soft and fluffy. I used a raw thick honey instead of molasses and it worked out great. On the filling, I wanted it to be a pretty blueberry purple color so I put the blueberries into the food processor. I should have only done one cup of the berries instead of the two and I would have still had the thick filling consistency that you need. I got greedy and kept pureeing the blueberries and the filling got more runny than I would have liked but it looked and tasted great!!! If you want the purple color, only use 1 cup of the blueberries pureed because this recipe is meant (as it says) to fold the blueberries into the filling and have them remain whole. I'm sure you could do this with other fruits too!!! I like this idea for a fruit filled whoopie pie, thanks for the recipe!!!!
