I’m sorry to do this to you.
Especially the first week of the New Year
when so many people have resolved to eat better.
These are going to make you jump right off
any diet bandwagon that you have climbed on.
Believe me! I know…I was there.
This week we have been doing great at our healthy eating,
drinking lots of water, and exercising…
then I went and made these.
And that was even fine because they were going
with my son to his Bible study group.
Only a few got left behind for me to take pictures of.
Then I took a bite out of one (for testing purposes:-)
and all my good resolve melted away
with that delicious cookie!
Peanut butter is a weakness of mine.
I should have known this would end badly for me.
I knew I HAD to get the rest out as quickly as possible.
My jeans were counting on me to be strong.
Resist the cookies I must!!!
Good thing we pack lunches each day.
The cookies were safely tucked into lunch bags
and hidden away from the peanut butter crazed lady!
But lucky for me…there was one left to enjoy the next day…
along with a few spoonfuls of yummy frosting.
Don’t judge me:-)
You would have done it too if the extra frosting was on your counter.
Go ahead and make these.
I double dog dare you:-)

You hate me. I want these. Now. Forget the healthy eating, exercise…I want to gobble these up!
Those look fantastic. Your picture makes them look so good and delicious. Come visit us. We have a terrific vegetable soup recipe this week.
I’m here from Foodie Friday to say: Oh. My. Stinkin. Word.
Thanks for linking up with Foodie Friday!

What’s exercise?
Oh I just made some chocolate and speculoos whoopees and am planning to share them for your treat tuesday. These look great and I like the idea of the crunch with the butterfingers.
Um,…I love you? Seriously want one now. Or just some frosting.
These look good!!! I have a weakness for peanut butter too, especially with chocolate
I still have Butterfingers from Halloween that I really really need to use up and I am always a huge fan of whoopie pies!
oh my goodness..it just doesn’t get any better..and I can tell by the ingredients that it tastes as good as it looks. i am so making this. i am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can!
You have to stop doing this too me! Bringing all this yumminess to Foodie Friday is going to kill my diet. LOL Keep it up and I might just have to subscribe!
Oh wow, I think I NEED one of those!!
On man, these sound and look heavenly! I’ve been wanting to make whoopie pies since I went to Portland, Oregon in Jiuy. While there I ate at a neat little coffee and tea place and had a red velvet whoopie pie. It was out of this world! I ended up buying a few to take back and share with a friend. I have since found a whoopie pie “mold” made by Wilton but from your photos it looks like this batter isn’t thin enough to pour into the mold. Would that be a correct assessment?!
I have made a Butterfinger cookie and it is one of our favorites! But never a whoopie pie–what a delicious idea!
These look and sound delicious!!!
How do you keep coming up with these ideas? And don’t stop! YUM!!!
These sound amazing! Pinning them to make soon!!
Oh. my. gracious. YUM!
Darn you. DARN YOU!
Ahem.
I need to go find some peanut butter now! : )
Thanks SO much for linking up your awesome posts @ Feature Friday Free-for-All!
P.S. I’m your newest follower and would be so honored if you’d follow my blogging journey as well (if you don’t already! : )).

Oh la la! These look amazing. Can’t wait to make a batch. Thanks for sharing!

they look great, and if you think about it, there is an egg and some honey it them, so they are healthy. At least that is what I am telling myself.
These look delicious! I love whoopie pies.
YUM! We are peanut butter lovers! Thanks for sharing on “Strut Your Stuff Saturday”. Please come back next Saturday and share more delicious recipes. -The Sisters
I can barely look at the photo without wanting to run out and buy the ingredients to make these! You did it again…and again…and again!
Those look great!! I have been on a bit of a whoopie pie planning craze. I have crazy whoopie pie notes all over the place. Who knows if I will ever make half of them!
But THESE definitely need to get made!
I liked you before… but I love you even more now. These are the best sounding/looking whoopie pies on the planet. Seriously!
I made these today and the cookie part was really doughy I even cooked it longer. I don’t know what I did. But really wished these had came out:(
@Sam. I am so sorry they didn’t turn out!!! How sticky was your dough? It should have been really thick and easy to roll into a ball. And over baking them would make the cookie crispy:-(
Hi there!
I’d like to invite you to link a recipe up for A Themed Baker’s Sunday, Where the theme is Caramel! See you there!
