Happy Friday! I’ve had a busy couple of days helping my daughter recover from getting her wisdom teeth removed. SO, I didn’t get a post up yesterday… I guess that’s how it goes sometimes 🙂
Love,
Ruthie

Love your Valentine version of the Whoope Pie – so pretty and delcious. Thanks for linking up over at Finding the Pretty & Delicious Link Party!
These are so pretty–I am a girlie-girl, so of course I love that pink. 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up at What’s In Your Kitchen Wednesday!
Hey Ruthie! Do you by any chance remember how big these were once baked? A teaspoon of batter seems like such a small amount for what looks like a HUGE whoopie pie…but the photo may just be playing tricks on my eyes 🙂 I might bake these this weekend and was just trying to visualize how wide they’d be. Thanks a bunch!
Hi Maggie… it’s hard to believe that they grow to be so large but, they do! Finished cookies is probably 2 1/2 inches across AND they’re to-die-for… just sayin’ 🙂 Thanks for the nice comment xoxo~ Ruthie
Awesome, thanks for your reply!
