I used my favorite thick and soft Snickerdoodle recipe for this Snickerdoodle Whoopie Pie Recipe. These Snickerdoodle Sandwich Cookies make a great after-school snack or cookie exchange treat.

WHAT ARE SNICKERDOODLES?

“A snickerdoodle is a type of cookie made with butter or oil, sugar, salt, and flour, and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Eggs may also sometimes be used as an ingredient, with cream of tartar and baking soda added to leaven the dough.”(Source) As well, Snickerdoodles are characterized by a cracked surface and can be either crisp or soft depending on the ingredients used.

Snickerdoodles, also called snipdoodles or cinnamon sugar cookies, have been around since the late 1800s. Also, a New England favorite, these large, crinkly-topped sugar cookies are probably German in origin.

WHAT IS A WHOOPIE PIE?

The whoopie pie is an American Cookie Sandwich dessert. Two cookies have a sweet, creamy filling or frosting holding them together in a sandwich form. Obviously, two cookies with frosting between have to be the best dessert sandwich ever! Furthermore, Whoopie Pies are also known as gobs, bobs, black-and-whites, “big fat Oreos.” (Traditionally, the flavors were chocolate cake and vanilla frosting.)

Although no one is certain where Whoopie Pies originated, folklore passed down says Amish wives invented the whoopie pie from remnants of cake batter and frosting. Furthermore, the name originated from the Amish men who, when they found these treats in their lunch boxes, would exclaim, “Whoopie!” (Source)

Furthermore, I took the cinnamon-crusted sugar cookie and made it into a sandwich cookie by filling it with the best possible frosting, salted caramel. Yep, two cookies held together with salted caramel frosting.

It’s fantastic!

Sprinkles optional!

Ingredients

COOKIES

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter unsalted, softened
  • 3 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

SALTED CARAMEL FILLING

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

COOKIES

  • In a large bowl, beat the first 7 ingredients with an electric mixer on medium. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Turn mixer to low and add flour until well incorporated. Separate dough into 3 balls, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Working with one disk at a time and keeping the others refrigerated, flour a smooth surface and roll one disk of dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Cut dough with floured cookie cutters, lay on an ungreased cookie sheet one inch apart.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit on cookie sheet 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

SALTED CARAMEL FILLING

  • Bring the brown sugar and butter to a rolling boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly.
  • Add the cream and stir. Return to a boil then remove from heat. Pour the mixture into the bowl of your electric stand mixer.
  • Using the whisk attachment, gradually beat in powdered sugar and vanilla at low speed. Beat 7 to 8 minutes or until it has cooled and thickened.
  • Immediately add the frosting to one cookie, sprinkle salt on the frosting, and sandwich together with another cookie.
  • Store in an airtight container on the countertop. They're good for up to 5 days then they start drying out.

    What fun cookies and your boys are adorable! If you don't test the dough, several times while baking, how will you know the cookies are any good? Yup, that's always my excuse when making cookies. Pinned these to make with my girls soon.
