by Fran Sherwood August 2006

  • 1 cup margarine or butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsps. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup sour milk
    (1 Tab. vinegar in a cup measure and fill with milk)
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 cup baking cocoa
    (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Beat margarine and sugar until creamy and add eggs and vanilla. Stir in milk
and hot water. Combine dry ingredients and add to liquid ingredients gradually.
Spoon onto a greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for about 10 minutes. Remove to cooling rack immediately.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies (24 sandwiches)
I make them big!

Woopie Pie Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 8 Tab. flour
  • 3/4 cup butter (no substitution)
  • 3/4 cup butter-flavored Crisco
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsps. vanilla extract
Heat milk and flour in a saucepan over low heat stirring constantly until very think.
Remove from heat and cool. ( I usually take the mixture out of the pan and place it
in a dish to cool faster.) Beat butter, Crisco, sugar and vanilla together and add the
flour/milk paste. Beat til smooth and creamy. ( Both the cake and filling recipe can
be cut in half if you wish to not make so many)
