Giant Whoopee Pies - Sugar Free
 
*****Splenda does not rise well, the cookie will be flat and tough, so thin the batter to make 
          a thin cookie that will not have the dome of sugar whoopee pies.  I do not recommend
          this recipe for anyone that can have sugar, even Splenda blend or part sugar will make a
          better product, but for very low sugar users, it is sweet and has a good flavor.
2 3/4 Cup Flour
2 Tbl Buttermilk Powder (may have slight sugar, depends on brand)
3/4 Cup Non Fat Powdered Milk - required for Splenda Granular
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Dutch Processed 23% Cocoa Powder 
1 Cup Splenda Granular
1 3/4 Cup Hot Water
1/2 Cup Shortening (same as 8 Tbl) - Zero trans fat Crisco or similar, not Hi Ratio)
3 Eggs Yokes
1 Tsp Vanilla
3 Egg Whites - whipped to stiff peak and fold into the above mix
 
 
Mix  all dry.  Then add rest except whites and beat well.  Should be like pudding. 
Add milk if thick, there should be no ridges when mixed.  Fold in egg whites.
Pour half on parchment paper on metal sheet or pizza pan,
make mound of about 9 inch diameter.  Makes 2 cookies
 
Bake 350 for 8-20 Minutes. Check with toothpick for clean test.
Heavy steel pans 8-20, others vary. Do not use silicone pans, will not cook as well.

Filling-

8 oz Cream Cheese (microwave 10 sec to make soft before mixing)
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter (same as 8 Tbl)
1/4 Cup Hi Ratio Shortening (same as 4 Tbl) **
1 Cup Splenda Granular *
1/8 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Vanilla

Milk or Cream to soften

 
 
** Hi Ratio shortening is used by bakers and is fluffier and reduces grease taste.
Mix on high for 5- 10 minutes until smooth, DO NOT SHORT TIME THIS!!!
Refrigerate, but let warm 5 minutes before eating.
 
After outsides are cool, spoon filling between two above cookies
