Every once in a while I find a recipe that truly inspires me!  And recently I found a delicious brownie cookie recipe that was delicious.  I love brownies.  But I decided that these would be perfect, with a minty peppermint frosting filling.  And so I created these really tasty and beautifully delicious Brownie Peppermint Whoopie Pies!

These whoopie pies turned out really yummy and very festive.  Perfect to deliver to neighbors, take to that last minute cookie exchange or bring to the last day of work at the office before your holiday break!  Here's the how-to:

    These look amazing. I think I must be the last person to try a whoopie pie - I keep hearing about them, but nobody has dropped any on my doorstep. <br /><br />The recipe looks easy enough I might even try it - my husband has me making cookie trays for employees - these would fill a nice gap I have :0)<br /><br />I&#39;m visiting from What&#39;s Cooking Wednesday.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br />
