This Cookie Dough Whoopie Pie Filling is too delicious. These are such a fun take on classic whoopie pies, and they’re guaranteed to satisfy. So good!
I have decided that I am not fancy enough to be driven anywhere by a “driver”.
I know that sounds pretentious, and it’s not like it happens all the time.
But when I AM being driven somewhere, I basically become a nervous wreck…
Taxi drivers, bus drivers, airport shuttles…nervous wreck.
I’m not necessarily worried about their driving skills, like a sensible person. No, I get nervous that they are going to kidnap me. All the time.
On Friday I was lucky enough to be able to attend a fun blogging event in in NYC. I live about an hour outside the city, so a driver picked me up and took me into New York.
Over the course of the hour that I was in the car I had cast myself in a “ripped from the headlines” episode of Law & Order: SVU.
(Obviously Jennifer Aniston was going to play me. She was so moved by the news story of the “baking blogger who was tragically kidnapped” that she felt compelled to take a break from her busy movie schedule to star in my episode.)
My driver spoke with a heavy Eastern European accent and smelled like cigarette smoke, basically a mash-up of all the bad-guy-kidnappers from the movie Taken.
I knew that in a matter of hours, I would be on a plane being sold into the sex-trade having to do weird party tricks while wearing sexy lingerie for rich, sexual deviants.
The driver was yelling on the phone to someone pretty much the entire drive. And at risk of offending half the world, yelling in a foreign language is way scarier than yelling in English.
I was convinced he was angrily negotiating the deal of the human trafficking that was about to occur. How much was I going for? What’s the going rate for a 36 year old mom? Do they know I can bake?
He probably was just having a fight with his wife or something, but logic has never been my forte.
I basically resigned myself to the fact that I was about to die, so I texted Kristan, to say my last goodbyes. Which is lucky, because she reminded me to pull out a few strands of hair and leave it on the seat for DNA evidence.
It’s good to have smart friends.
Speaking of good friends I also had Oprah’s voice on loop in the back of my mind, “don’t go to the second location“, which was basically pointless at that point because I was already IN THE CAR! Thanks Oprah, how about you do a show on kidnap-murderer limo drivers? How am I expected to be prepared?
But since I am obviously here to tell you about my brush with death, you probably already figured out that I was NOT, in fact, sold into the sex trade black market. Totally lucky too, because I’m not sure my dad has the karate skills of Liam Neeson.
Near miss, my friends.
Annnd, if I was not around to tell the tale , I also couldn’t share with you the genius that are Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Whoopie Pies.
Yep, you heard that correctly.
I used my favorite chocolate whoopie pie recipe.
The filling is an egg-free chocolate chip cookie dough.
I know some of you have a fear of salmonella poisoning, so there are no worries.
On the other hand, for someone so scared of kidnapper-limo-drivers I stare salmonella in the face on pretty much a daily basis.
I’m a walking contradiction.
How to Make the Best Whoopie Pie Filling
Mix up your cookie dough…
And fill a ziplock or piping bag…
Squeeze some on top of one of your cookies…sorry about the poo-like swirl.
Then eat!
Now.
I had a little extra filling leftover.
And I ALSO happened to have some Chips Ahoy in the pantry. Don’t ask, my kids love them.
Sooo, I did what any normal person would do.
I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough filled Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches.
Waste not, want not.
It’s a beautiful thing.

I actually had a “blind date” night in college where your roommate set you up with someone and you went out on a date before going to a group dance (It was called “Screw your Roommate”…ah, college days). For my date, I was to meet a driver who was going to take me to the restaurant where I was to meet my date. It was certainly sketchy feeling. My roommate wasn’t a total psycho, so I trusted that she wouldn’t have me killed. The driver ended up pulling into a dark alley with “car trouble”. I was not too thrilled – this was in the days way before mobile phone technology that was smaller than a brief case. Yes, I know the feeling you had…I was sure I was to be kidnapped and harmed. It turned out that the driver was my date…wearing a disguise and I actually knew him. The stunt of trying to frighten me before the date did not do much to endear me to him. I had the campus headlines going through my head of that which was to happen to me. He did not have the effect of “savior” that I think he was going for.
Anyway, love the idea of the CC cookie dough filling for the woopie pies. I am wondering if this filling would work as a layer between cake. Any thoughts? I could also see this as a yummy cupcake frosting perhaps? And although I do sample cookie dough in its raw form, I love the idea of an eggless mix to ward off any salmonella risks.
I think the EXACT SAME THING every time I am in a cab. I’m always convinced I am going to be put into some sort of human trafficking ring. I go through and rationalize that if they were really going to human traffic me, they would probably steal my phone and yada yada. Basically, I make myself nearly hyperventilate in the back seat. lol
love these. I am featuring them on my Facebook page today
These cookies look amazing! I know want 1 (or 4) whoopie pies with cookie dough to munch on!
I hate being in a taxi. Glad you dodged that kidnapping! These cookies look amazing, even WITH the poo-like swirl, hehe!
I hate riding in taxis! I like being in control of my own destiny so if I want to drive 85mph or poke along at 17mph I can…but leave it to a taxi driver to go 85mph in a school zone or 17 when I am late for the airport. Glad you escaped the kidnapping 🙂
GREAT job on these. That is a serious!! bag of cookie dough. Whoa. It looks like it weighs about 3 lbs. 🙂 Love it!
Thank gd you weren’t kidnapped so you could share this recipe:-) Love the cookie dough “piping.”
ok, don’t take this the wrong way, because I come here for the recipes, but I am really excited about the leave-a-few-strands-of-hair-behind tip. I mean, yes, one could use the recipes every day, and hopefully one would only need to use the DNA trick once or twice a lifetime, but in terms of importance: give me a break, right? I want Olivia to find me. Ice-T thinks he’s all that with the wall of magic computer screens, Elliot’s preoccupied with his messed up family, and Munch is just cracking wise. A girl has to help herself.
Seriously I am so glad you didn’t get kidnapped, because there really isn’t anything I could do from Arkansas other than Tweet about it a lot.
Also, cookie dough whoopie pie filling? It needs to happen here.
This looks amazing! Do you have a good recipe you use for the cookie part of this recipe?
I linked to the recipe in the post 🙂
