A tried and true recipe. It isn't just a Maine recipe. They have been a long time recipe here in Pennsylvania since I was a kid. These are sold at local markets and especially by the Amish. Mmm..good.

Just wasn't my favorite - not chocolate-y enough for me. Sorry, I just thought they were average.

It's not just a Maine thing! I grew up in Pennsylvania and we called them "Gobs". Now, 21 years later, I see the same recipe going around and it has many different names but the recipe is the same. This is an absolutely wonderful little cookie!! Thanks!

This whoopie pie is really bad. The cookie come out so hard to eat except the cream and a little too sweet. I will never make this again.
