Have you ever heard about whoopie pie?

Well, it's been a while since I read about it and interested to know deeper. Whoopie pie is not a pie like usual pie which made of combination crust and filling. Whoopie pie is a soft cookie, made of two pieces cookies with creamy frosting or filling sandwiched between them. You can make the cookies from many flavors like chocolate, red velvet, pumpkin, green tea, and sooo many things.

Why does it named whoopie pie?

According to food historian, Amis women would make dessert for farmers's lunch box. When the farmers opened their box and saw the dessert, they would shout "Whoopie!"
