WHOOPIE PIES

Recipe By : Linda.Magee@salata.com (Linda Magee)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
–CAKE/COOKIE PART
1 3/4 cups ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
1/2 cup COCOA POWDER (I use Dutch cocoa)
1 3/4 tsp BAKING SODA
1/8 tsp SALT
1/2 cup SHORTENING (I use butter-flavor Crisco)
1 cup GRANULATED SUGAR
1 1/2 tsp VANILLA
1 large EGG
1 cup BUTTERMILK
–CREME FILLING
6 TBS BUTTER or MARGARINE, softened
2 TBS SHORTENING (I use Butter-Flavor Crisco)
1 jar MARSHMALLOW CREME
2 tsp VANILLA
4 cups CONFECTIONERS’ SUGAR, sifted (icing sugar)

Preheat oven to 375-degrees.

Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets; set aside.

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt;
set aside.

In a large mixing bowl cream the shortening and sugar
together, until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and
beat. Add dry ingredients, alternately with the buttermilk;
starting and ending with the flour. Mix well.

Drop batter by tablespoonfuls (I made BIG cookies) onto
greased cookie sheets. Try to make the mounds as round as
possible, they’ll look better when they’re done. Whatever
shape you drop the dough, that’s the shape the cookie will be.
The dough isn’t real runny, but it’s not real firm either.
Space the cookies at LEAST 2 inches apart, they DO spread out
quite a bit. Make sure you make an even amount of cookies–it
takes 2 halves to make one Whoopie Pie.

Bake 8-10 minutes, or until cookies spring back when lightly
touched and they’re no longer shiny on top.

Leave the cookies on the cookie sheets for a few minutes,
they’ll fall apart if you remove them immediately. Cool
completely before filling

Cream the butter and shortening until light and fluffy. Beat
in the marshmallow creme. Add vanilla and beat well. Add the
confectioners’ sugar and beat until smooth.

Spread 1 TBS of the filling onto one half of the cookies. Top
with the other half. Of course, if you’ve made the cookies
bigger, you’ll need to put in more filling. I fill them as
full as I want.

These freeze well, but they have to be air-tight or they get
soggy. Carl likes ’em frozen! I’ve never tried it, but I’m
sure these would make great ice cream sandwiches. Just put a
slice of ice cream in between the cookies instead of the creme
filling. The original recipes called for more shortening in
the filling, it was waaaay too greasy. I like my filling
better. You really need a little shortening to smooth the
filling out–I’ve tried using totally butter or margarine, but
it’s not the same.

PRESSURE COOKER SHIPS BREAD

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/2 c Water 2 tsp. salt OR
1 c Water 1/2 C. sea water
1 Packet Dry Yeast or 1 Tbls.
-Dry Yeast
1 tb Honey or sugar
4 c Flour (2 C. can be whole
-wheat or other flour)

Some notes on using a pressure cooker for baking:
Method 1 – Uses the pressure cooker as the loaf pan.
Grease inside of cooker well and sprinkle interior
with cornmeal. If making sweet breads, omit the
cornmeal. Method 2 ~ Uses the pressure cooker as an
oven. YOU MUST REMOVE THE PRESSURE RELIEF PLUG AND
RUBBER SEAL. The high temperatures will damage them.

In all cases, a “flame tamer” should be used to
prevent scorching. Unless specified, water should be
lukewarm.

Ships Bread – Method 1

Combine water, yeast, and honey and let stand without
stirring. When yeast has dissolved (about 5 minutes),
stir and knead in flour. Let dough rise in warm place
until doubled in bulk. Punch down and turn into the
cooker. Allow to rise again until doubled. Bake over
medium flame for about 45 minutes. You can turn the
loaf over half way thru the baking to allow for more
even browning.
