Lemon Blueberry Whoopie Pies image

These whoopie pies are soft, cakey cookies studded with tart, juicy blueberries and filled with tangy cream cheese frosting. I take them to family and school events and they are always the first thing gone! Be sure to continually scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula while making the batter and frosting. -Kathy Martino, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my whoopie pies didn't turn out as good as the ones in the pictures. They were still tasty, but they weren't as fluffy or light.

Overall, I thought these Lemon Blueberry Whoopie Pies were good, but they could have been better. I'll definitely try making them again with some adjustments.

The frosting was a bit too runny. I think I should have let it chill for longer before spreading it on the whoopie pies.

These were a bit dry. I think I should have added more milk to the batter.

I had some trouble getting the whoopie pies to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
