Oatmeal Raisin Whoopie Pies

I took my Healthier Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and sandwiched some sweet buttercream frosting between them.  The result?  A thick, sweet, and delicious whoopie pie!

Let's take something fairly healthy and turn it into something not-so healthy, shall we?

I loved these Healthier Oatmeal Raisin Cookies that I made a couple weeks ago.  I enjoyed them for snacks and even breakfast a few times.  Then one day I decided they needed to be sweetened up a bit.  I had some leftover frosting, so I decided to put together a few whoopie pies.

These cookies are a little thicker than your typical oatmeal creme pie cookie, so you end up with quite a massive whoopie pie.  No judgment here if you pull out a fork to eat these with...I did!

Oatmeal Raisin Whoopie Pies

Makes 10 pies

Ingredients:
20 Healthier Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1.  In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth.

2.  Spread a heaping Tablespoon of frosting on the flat side of one cookie.  Top with another cookie.

3.  Continue frosting and assembling pies until all the cookies are used.  You may have some leftover frosting.

Store pies in the fridge so the frosting doesn't melt.  Bring to room temperature before serving.
