SHOOFLY PIE

Steps:

• Make crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, salt, and sugar until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon at a time). Do not overmix. Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a floured work surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch round with a floured rolling pin. Place in a 9-inch pie plate, trim excess, and crimp edges. Make topping and filling: In clean bowl of processor, pulse flour, butter, and brown sugar until combined. In a bowl, combine baking soda with boiling water and whisk to dissolve. Whisk in molasses, then egg until combined.
• Fill crust with molasses mixture, then sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over top (some will sink into filling). Place pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until set in middle, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• Roll dough into balls the size of walnuts. Dip in an egg wash of 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water. Dip every other dough ball into the crumb topping that I will give directions for later in the recipe.Place cookie balls on sheet with egg washed & dipped sides facing up.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes until puffed up & lightly brown ! Remove from sheets & let cool completely before filling
• To make Shoofly Pie Goo : Mix the flour, brown sugar, shortening & salt together cutting it in for a crumb mixture , use a fork or pastry cutter. Remove 3/4 Cup & set this aside for your crumb topping to dip the cookie dough balls. Now take remaining crumbs mix & put into a deep saucepan, add the one egg beaten, the molasses & vanilla. Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water. Stir into the mixture in the saucepan. Whisk & cook over medium heat whisking the entire time. This will look like foamy coffee, keep stirring, MAGIC HAPPENS & SUDDENLY you will have a nice thick bubbly molasses goo ! Stir until all is thick & no longer watery. Remove from heat & chill. This will be the gooey bottom in the center of your whoopie pies.
• White Fluffy Filling : Cream egg whites, vanilla, flour,salt, milk & 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Beat well. Add 2 cups more of the powdered sugar & the shortening & beat until fluffy. If you want this a little stiffer add more powdered sugar. If it gets to stiff just add a little more milk. This never fails & everyone likes their filling a different texture. In Whoopie Pies there is NO WRONG ! Play with it until you get it the way you like! Chill
• Now take a cookie half that does not have crumbs, this is the bottom half of your whoopie pie. Smear about 1 & 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of the goo on the flat side of the cookie. Now take the cookie half that has crumbs ( this will be the top half of your whoopie pies.) Smear the flat side with a dollop of the Fluffy white filling. Place the Whoopie Pie halves together.

WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cream of tarter, and cocoa. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, Crisco, sugar, and vanilla until well blended, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, blending after each addition. Add the flour mixture to the sugar-butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Blend well but don't over mix. The mixture will look like cake batter and if it looks curdled, don't worry about it.
• Use ¼ cup batter for each cookie. Drop the batter onto parchment line cookie sheets......one in each corner and one in the middle. Make them as round as possible. At this point, each cookie will be about 2-1/2 inches in diameter and they should be 3-1/2 to 4 inches apart. Bake for 6 minutes and if necessary, reverse the cookie sheet from front to back so they bake evenly. Continue to bake 10 minutes longer or until top of cake springs back when touched with your fingertip. Don't over bake. Remove the cookie from the sheet with a spatula to parchment paper covered racks to cool. If any of the cookie are irregular shaped, trim them carefully while they are still warm. Repeat with the remaining batter until you have 30 cookies.
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, mix together the flour and milk until blended. Cook on medium heat and cook and stir constantly until mixture becomes thick. Remove from heat and cool completely. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until slightly softened. Add the vanilla, salt, & powdered sugar. Add the cooled milk mixture to the butter mixture and beat until light and fluffy.
• Arrange the cookie into pairs, flat sides up. Place a generous ¼ cup of filling on 15 of the cookies, using the entire filling. Spread the filling to about ½ inch from the edge....it will be almost ½ inch thick. Top with another cookie, flat side down. Press the cookie together so the filling comes to the edge.
• Serve and eat. Or you can chill them, and then wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap. They can be stored in the refrigerator, but taste better eaten at room temperature.
• NOTE: To make smaller cookies, drop heaping tablespoons full of batter onto the sheet and then you can get approximately 2 dozen or so.
