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.

These sounded good from the title in my feed, but the pics…WOW! Glad you didn’t get kidnapped and die. If you haven’t watched the movie Frailty, never ever ever do it. It damaged me for life!
I am sorry about your almost near death sex slave kidnapping!!! How frightened you must have been!!..LOL I do have to say a big Thank You though as I was having a pretty down day and when I read your blog, OMG..I thought I was truly going to wet myself I was laughing so hard….after knowing you were safe OF COURSE!!! 🙂 I absolutely LOVE your blog, not only for the recipes but because you share yourself with us & your humor is exactly what keeps me coming back as it exactly what I need after a very long day….and I am glad that you feel you can share with us…so, Thank You for being You!!! God Bless!
P.S. I can totally see Jennifer Aniston playing you!!! 🙂
Just love what you did with your leftover filling! 🙂 GREAT photos, Shelly!
These look delicious! Does the kitchen aid beater with the scraper blade work well?
I love love love my scraper blade!
If my hubby sees these, I fear he may literally kill for them!
Pinned and drooling! 🙂
Totally know what you mean about having a ‘driver.’ I cannot stand taking taxis. I always seem to get these super creepy guys, I’m sure it’s not them though, I’m sure it’s just me being neurotic. Anyway, love the cookie dough whoopie pie idea. They look amazing!
I’m SO glad you’re still alive to share this recipe. Or at least, still in the United States and not somewhere on a plane in a crate, worried about who the highest bidder was!
Delish looking recipe. Anything cookie dough is my FAVE! And slavery-free women is high on my priority list, too.
Wow!! yumm-o!
These look way too crazy good!!
I would totally add the cookie dough to as many cookie sandwiches as possible!
Lol I have that fear too. Not to that extent I guess, but I don’t take taxis when I’m on my own. If you ask me, being kidnapped is more likely than getting salmonella poisoning at home 😛 And way more serious too.
But anyway, those whoopie pies look good. Though I prefer a lighter filling in my whoopies so I’d probably adapt it to a swiss meringue buttercream or something of that sort.
