Directions
| Whoopie Pies | |
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 350 In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar, Add the bananas, vanilla, and salt and mix well. Mix in the eggs. Add the baking soda and slowly add the flour, mixing just until incorporated. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto a baking sheet with 2-3" between them. (I like to use a silicone baking mat to help prevent too much spreading.) Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool a few minutes on the pan before transferring to a cooing rack. | |
