stargaterdii rated and reviewed the recipe Banana Flip Cookies

"The cookies are delicious. Could use a little more banana flavor, but that's just a personal preference. The filling, however, was just kind of nasty. Maybe it's because I didn't use that creme yogurt, but I couldn't get it to come together and three cups of sugar makes it way too sweet, but any less and it's not stiff enough. I can't even imagine how sweet it might be with the filling and the dusting sugar. *shivers* If you want to fill the cookies, I suggest finding a good recipe for banana whoopie pie filling. Or just use marshmallow filling and chopped bananas. Again, the cookies are absolutely delicious, but stay away from the filling."

"SnowJo: If you want to skip the Splenda, use 1 1/2 cup sugar. Since Splenda is sweeter than sugar, you might also want to dust the brownies with a little powdered sugar after they've cooled."

"When we think of whoopie pies, we think of the traditional fluffy, chocolate cake with marshmallow filling. But a "non-traditional" whoopie pie isn't always going to come out the same way. In my experience, red velvet whoopies almost always come out much"

"Arts and crafts stores that having baking sections (like Michaels) tend to carry inexpensive cardboard cake boxes. Make sure that the cake is on carboard or a cake round, as these boxes are a bit flimsy, and always hold it with two hands. If the cake"
