"Vanessa Galindo took the whoopie pie and turned it into a holiday cookie - a big, burger-size sandwich cookie filled with cream cheese frosting that's tinged with maple syrup and orange juice and zest. The key to assembling these whoopie pies correctly is not to smear the filling across the surface of the cookie. "You just scoop it" onto the flat side of half of the cookies, Galindo says."
"(And it's a big scoop - 2 ounces of cream cheese filling for each cookie.) Then top it with another cookie and gently smoosh the filling. The cranberry sauce is optional, but its tartness balances the sweetness."
A whoopie pie is reimagined as a large, holiday sandwich cookie filled with cream cheese frosting flavored with maple syrup, orange juice, and zest. Proper assembly requires scooping the filling rather than spreading it across the cookie surface to keep a clean appearance and texture. Each cookie receives a generous 2-ounce scoop of filling placed on the flat side of half the cookies. After scooping, another cookie is placed on top and the filling is gently smooshed to distribute it. Cranberry sauce can be added for tart contrast to the sweet filling.
