I had heard of Julianne’s whoopie pies but until I photographed them, I had not a one.

I DID lick the bowl!  Since I’m not a fan of peppermint, she kindly made a different filling for me (whipped it up so fast, she’s a whiz in the kitchen!), filled them and sent me home with a half dozen after the photo shoot.

I maybe got two? My husband chowed down!

And…there’s NOTHING ON EARTH like her cake balls!

Excellent recipe!

I was excited to get this recipie yesterday and am hoping to try it tonight. I recently tried the Red Velvet Pies which everyone loved and made them again this past weekend. I have used the parchment paper but they dont seem to spread into even circles. I dump it by the small cookie scoop. I greased a pan and did it that way but they seemed crispier which my husband like better. I went and bought two silicone mats yesterday to try instead. Are there any tips you can give on to getting a good circle? I am always asked by everyone for desserts and while i have some of my own recipies I am always proud to say I use Paula’s recipes. everyone always looks forward to “your” treats

Juliann’s whoopie pies are the best! She puts alot of time and love into “baking whoopie.” I have had the pleasure of tasting them both as gifts and straight from the oven. The chocolate peppermint are the perfect holiday treat and will disappear, quickly. Try her cherry mash whoopie pies, too. I miss having my sister “Juli” and her whoopies, here in Vermont. Thanks, Paula, for sharing Juliann’s story and recipe.

I was looking for something new to make for my family. I am known for my deserts and this one is a keeper. Haven’t had a whoopie pie before so this will be a first, but love chocolate and peppermint though. I think what I will do is take my peppermint white choc bark and crush it and roll the ends of the whoopie pie in that! Thanks for the ideas!

I became a customer and consumer of Juliann’s famous Whoopie pies this past summer.  The banana with cream cheese icing are one of my favorites.  I donated one dozen pumpkin and one dozen banana whoopie pies to my children’s school dessert auction and they brought in $750. They are priceless!

Dear paula,
as a wife and mother of 3 teenagers and one as addicted to chocolate like most of my friends(me nope) this will surely work for him. Yippee!!!
As I live on a farm I am so very happy to be able to bake with fresh hen and duck eggs.
All my many breads that consist of cinnamon/raisin bread, apple, cranberry breads are my speciality.
I wonder what bread is your speciality?
Love ya and wish to meet you one day!

Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

I first met Juliann as a whoopie pie customer and she quickly became a friend. I picked up a batch of pumpkin whoopies and they were amazing. And Juliann is just as sweet and rich as these wonderful treats! And to call them a cookie is a grave injustice- they are in a class of their own!

I’m going to make these…Do they need to be refridgerated since there is milk in the filling??

Kathy of Boynton Beach Florida on December 14, 2009 06:25 PM

Thank you for all the good recipes.  Love your show. You are a true inspiration as I too was a single mother of 6.  I Also met the man of my dreams. Happy Holidays from our family to yours!
