Whoopie Pies
I was first introduced to this heavenly dessert by my mother in-law. She is originally from Maine and Whoopie Pies are all the rage up there. I can't believe I hadn't heard of them sooner. I see them on every food blog now. If you haven't tried them, they are absolutely delicious. I just made a batch up this week for a cookie exchange. Today I'm going to share the recipe with you all.

1/2 tsp of salt
1 tsp of vanilla
1 cup of milk
1 cup of sugar
