Half Moon Pies

Half Moon Pies, often known as Whoopie Pies, have roots in New England and the Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. These delightful treats consist of two soft cookies with a creamy filling, traditionally made with marshmallow fluff. They embody a sense of nostalgia and are often associated with childhood and community gatherings. Today, variations abound, with flavors ranging from red velvet to pumpkin spice, making them a beloved dessert across the country and beyond.
