Ingredients
-
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons fat-free milk, divided
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1-1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon mint extract
4 drops green food coloring, optional
Directions
In a bowl, beat sugar and oil until crumbly. Add egg; beat for 1 minute. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Gradually beat into sugar mixture. Add 2 tablespoons milk; mix well. With lightly floured hands, roll dough into 24 balls.
Place 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Flatten slightly with a glass coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 5-6 minutes or until edges are set and tops are cracked. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine butter and confectioners' sugar until crumbly. Beat in extract, food coloring if desired and remaining milk. Spread on the bottom of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies.
Yield:1 - dozen
For a change of pace, try using orange extract instead of the mint, and one drop each of red and yellow food coloring for the four drops of green.

I am sorry to bust your bubble folks, but this recipe is not as low fat as the nutritional chart says. The entire recipe has 70 fat grams. I don't know who would sit and eat a dozen and 1/2 at time. As for the rest I doubt there is 19 proteins and the salt also seems way off. Still look good though. - 12/12/07

OK I made them, but I was disappointed in the size/quantity. It's supposed to make 18, but I was scraping the bowl just to make 16, and at that they were about 2" across. Not the size whoopie pies I'm used to! They were a little crispy on the outside, and the filling wasn't fluffy. But still OK. - 12/11/07

Recipe sounds good and I may try it, but I'm a bit confused on the nutritional info. Over 19 grams of protein from 1 egg and a couple of ounces of skim milk? And only 5 grams of carbs from 1/2 cup of reg sugar and over a cup of confectioners sugar? What am I missing? - 12/11/07
