Making whoopie cookies with Brooklyn's One Girl

 Growing up in the South, moon pies were a treat that I enjoyed. Then I moved to New York City, where I first heard about whoopies. Before then, I always thought "whoopie" was an euphemism for sex used only by contestants on the old television show "The Newlywed Game." However, I soon found out that a whoopie or whoopie pie is usually a soft chocolate sandwich cookie or cake with a creamy filling.
One Girl Cookies in Brooklyn offers a delicious variation on the popular whoopie by using pumpkin cake and a cream cheese filling. I stopped by the Boerum Hill bakery last week to try one, and I loved it! The pumpkin whoopie has great flavor and the cream cheese filling is airy and sweet. I enjoyed one with a tall glass of milk. At $1.25 per whoopie, I could have had a few more. In fact, the only complaint is that I am one girl who can't just have one cookie.
