1/6/2024 0 Comments My recipes southern livingWill definitely be making these again and again!!! Oh one more thing.I didn't find it necessary to wait the suggested hour before filling the cookies. Butter has got to be in there! Surprising cake-like texture of the cookie part. Not worth making filling with only shortening. It does need some shortening in there to keep the necessary firmness. Also, for the cookies that did not get eaten, the try #1 filling oozed out quite substantially when the moonpies were left on the plate. My son however, who had selected filling from try #3 had a much easier time eating it, without the oozing filling factor. However try #1 did ooze out of the moonpies as my daughter ate it, making it a sticky mess for her. The 1st try's filling was pure heaven in our mouth. shortening in place of the suggested 1/2 c. Try #3: Made the recipe once more with 1/4 c. shortening instead of the suggested butter. Try #2: Made the recipe again with 1/2 c. Try #1: I tried the marshmallow filling recipe with the suggested 1/2 c. I gulped down 3 of these without even blinking! I did an experimental test of the marshmallow filling. Really surprised me with how incredible they are. Works great instead of trying to do it w/your hand (which makes it obvious)! Then you'll have perfect puffy pies like you see in everyones picture! After I take it out, I use my spatula to cut around any pies that didn't come out perfectly round. For best results, don't flatten or touch the rounded medium scoop (what I use) after it hits the cookie sheet. Speaking from experience! Stick in the fridge between batches or even before baking. Too much = liquid dough & you will have pancakes instead of beautiful puffed cakes. Doesn't effect taste & you save yourself a bowl! HOWEVER, DO NOT OVER MIX!! This is why I mix everything AFTER all the ingredients have been added. As far as the crust/pie part, I used a mixer for the butter and sugar then dumped the rest of the ingredients on top. hehehe Some complained about a "butter" taste to it, but I think that's from not blending well & using room temp butter. I didn't even put thick amounts of filling in-between nor can I imagine it because it's very rich, BUT my husband who hates SWEETS says this is the best dessert ever! Brags to his coworkers. This ensures you don't eat all the same hour you made them! However, you really should use the entire 7oz jar of creme but keep the other amounts for the filling the same. HELPFUL TIPS NOT MENTIONED: If you do only use 1C of marshmallow creme, make your kids a pb&marshmallow sandwich with the leftover creme as they wait for the pies to cool to apply the filling. Works great instead of trying to do it w/your hand (which makes it obvious)! Read More
