Gingerbread Whoopie Pies with Lemon Creme image

The gingerbread cookie is so moist, and when it mixes with the lemon creme, its amazing. The peppermint adds a little more spunk overall. This recipe comes from McCormick.

These were really good, but I think I would have liked them better with a different type of filling.

These gingerbread whoopie pies were a hit! The combination of the spicy gingerbread cookies and the tangy lemon crème was perfect. I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter to make them extra festive.
