A whoopie pie is such a fun treat! Is it a cake? Is it a cookie? How is it a pie? Who cares? It’s delicious!
My latest version of the treat is strawberry cheesecake, and they did not disappoint. The soft cookie has the addition of graham cracker crumbs, and it’s filled with a cream cheese frosting that’s flavored with wild strawberry artisan flavor.
