Recipe Tips

Important Note
Since these whoopie pies will soften when stored in the refrigerator, they are best served the same day they are prepared. For longer storage, store the cooled baked cookies in tightly covered container at room temperature up to 3 days. Fill with the pudding mixture just before serving.
Substitute
Prepare using your favorite flavor of instant pudding mix.
