Gobs or whoopie pie recipes

[santa7]

Does anyone have  good gob recipe?  We called them gobs when I lived in Pa.  A few years ago, they created them here down south but they renamed them as "Whoopie pies".  I love these.

               You can Google Whoopie Pie recipes. I've not ever thought about making these kind of pies. They look delicious. I guess if your looking for a family kind of recipe you might not be able to get the exact kind of recipe though.

No sorry I’ve never heard of this but I am going to Google it and see what it is

I have tried ready made Gobs/Whoopie pies but never personally made them, they are good.  Hope you are able to find a good recipe on google or a recipe website. Much luck.

If you're a chocolate lover, can't go wrong with the classic. 
Ingredients:

For the gobs:
 2cups all-purpose flour
 ½cup unsweetened cocoa powder
 1teaspoon baking soda
 ¼teaspoon salt
 ½cup vegetable shortening
 1cup granulated sugar
 1whole egg
 1egg yolk
 1teaspoon vanilla extract
 ½cupbuttermilk
 ½cup hot water

For the filling:
 1½cups marshmallow fluff
 1¼cups unsalted butter
 1cup powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
 1tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Using an electric mixer, cream together the shortening and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until completely smooth and combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add one-third of the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Add the buttermilk and mix again, followed by another third of the flour mixture, the hot water, and then the remaining flour mixture. Give the batter a few quick folds with a rubber spatula to ensure all of the ingredients are incorporated.

Drop the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheets using a medium cookie scoop (about 1½ tablespoons of dough). Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes. The cookies should look puffed and completely set. Let cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Filling: Cream together the marshmallow fluff and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract; mix until all of the sugar has been incorporated, then increase the speed to medium and beat for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Assemble the Gobs: Using a pastry bag with round decorating tip, or a spoon, spread some of the filling onto the bottom side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies. The gobs can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Enjoy!

i have never heard of gobs, but we are going to Lancaster next week and will be sure to eat some whoopie pies.  It's an Amish favorite.

Thank you Michele for the recipe.  I'll have to try it.  Not much of a baker but I sure love those gobs.
