Carrot Whoopie Pie

I have been wanting to try making whoopie pies. I chose to make carrot cake whoopie pies. I should have known that on the first attempt to this new recipe would be a little trials and errors on the baking part. I adjusted the recipe somewhat because I wanted the cookie dough to be thicker and added 3/4 more flour. My challenge all started with the dough so when I scooped to drop a tablespoon of dough for each cookie onto to the pan, it still was spreading out too wide. That made me worry that the cookie will be too flat after baking. To be surprise, the cookie did not flatten so that was good. ( should tried a different whoopie pie like just a pumkin or vanilla flavor, I like to work with a more doughy texture when I drop the dough on the pan that it feels like a cookie ).

Take a look at these first product.
