PUMPKIN WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
• Combine the oil and brown sugar. Mix in the pumpkin and eggs, beating well. Add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Mix well.
• Drop dough by heaping teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool then make sandwiches from two cookies filled with Whoopie Pie Filling.
• To Make Whoopie Pie Filling: Beat egg white and mix with the milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar. Mix well then beat in the shortening and the remaining cup of confectioners' sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.

CHERRY AND COCONUT WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• For the whoopie pies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• Drain the cherry syrup into a liquid measuring cup (there should be about 3/4 cup) and cut the cherries in half. Set aside.
• In a larger bowl with an electric mixer, cream together the sugar and butter. Add the food coloring, vanilla and egg and beat until creamy. Add the dry ingredients alternating with the cherry syrup.
• Drop about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie on the baking trays, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies spring back like a cupcake when pressed, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking trays, and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• For the coconut cream: Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons cold water and allow to bloom. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, heat the cream. Meanwhile, using a stand or hand mixer, beat the sugar and egg yolks until pale and creamy, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the hot cream slowly into the egg and sugar mixture, mixing constantly. Transfer to the saucepan and continue cooking on low heat, mixing constantly, until it thickens, about 15 minutes; do not allow to boil. Remove from the heat, add the gelatin and mix until completely melted. Set aside in the refrigerator until thick, about 4 hours.
• Beat the thickened mixture until creamy with the toasted coconut and extract.
• To assemble: Spread the flat side of each cookie with 1 teaspoon of coconut cream. Top half of the cookies with about 4 cherry halves. Sandwich the cherry-topped cookies with the remaining cookies, and press slightly to push the filling to the edges. Roll the edges in the toasted coconut. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.

SUNNY'S GREEN GODDESS TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rub the potatoes all over with the oil. Season the skins with salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Bake until tender inside, about 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle, but still warm. Leave the oven on.
• For the yogurt mixture. While the potatoes are baking, in a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, cilantro, dill, mint, parsley and scallions. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• For the filling: Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to gently hollow out each half, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh around the border and bottom. Mash the potato flesh in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher. Add the melted butter, half of the cream or milk, 1 cup of the cheese blend, 1/2 cup of the yogurt mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Reserve the rest of the yogurt mixture for serving. Mix to combine, adding more cream or milk to make smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
• Re-bake the potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment or nonstick aluminum foil. Place the hollowed-out potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Using a large spoon, fill the recess of each potato with the filling. Top the potatoes with the remaining cheese. Bake until the tops begin to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with a dollop of the reserved yogurt mixture.
