Who do you think you are, calling my cookie a biscuit?

I believe the cookies were named after the act of making whoopie, which while sweet and oozing, would be freaky if it was brown.

You know, I don’t have any days scheduled off in October, but after thinking about our last experience at the Pumpkin Show, it seems impossible that I wouldn’t come in for the weekend, right? If you’re going to be around, I’m going to look at plane tickets.

i would eat a pile of dog turds if it had anything-flavoured cream cheese on it. the next time i’m in your neighbourhood, you’ll have to shout me one of these biscuit things.

i wonder if the whoopi cookie is named after the eponymous celebrity. who is similarly brown, sweet, and oozing.

I always assumed “Whoopie” and only spelled it the other way based on this post. And I never did try them. They looked like they were probably pretty good, but they never interested me when there were so many other things that caught my attention at the Pumpkin Show.

My mom was famous for her whoopi cakes, although I’m pretty sure I’ve been spelling it whoopie in my head all these years.

Have you had the whoopi pies? Because the whoopie cake filling was something very different from icing, and I’d love to taste it again.

Wait, meaning that you’ve had the Whoopi Cookie before? Why am I always the last to know?!

Anyone who says Magnolia aren’t great is just trying to look cool. Crumbs cupcakes are great because they’re perfect, but Magnolia cupcakes are great because they taste homemade, but you can never make them the same at home.

WANT.

I always thought the Circleville Women’s Club had made up the name “Whoopi Pies” when they sold them at the Pumpkin Show every year, but apparently, “Whoopi” is a legitimate name for that dessert. And now, I’m weirded out.

Oh, man, I LOVE WHOOPI COOKIES SO MUCH!

I know some people say they’re not that great, but I have the taste-memory of Magnolia Bakery cupcakes, like, imprinted on my BRAIN.
