Grammy's Cookies (Whoopie Pies)

My husband has been trying to get me to make these for almost 12 years.  Unfortunetly the recipe had been lost and no one in the family had it.  I remembered writing it down when we were first married but couldn't locate my copy.  That is until about a month ago when I was reorganizing my cookbooks and recipe cards.  I myself had never had a Grammy's cookie until today and let me tell you my friends these are A M A Z I N G!!!  Grammy obviously knew what she was doing because these are the most moist whoopie pies I have EVER had!!! After finding out these little beauties were in the house, Kurt decided he better make an appearance at home for lunch.  I hope you like them as much as he does!!  Enjoy with a shot of milk!
