Sister Sage Co.

True Southern Entertaining

Molasses Whoopie Pies

My sweet Noni, even though she has lived in the South most of her life, her Yankee roots definitely shine through when she breaks out the molasses!

Learning the ropes of the kitchen at Noni’s very a serious matter, well it was in my mind anyways. (: There were several rules that I learned early on and still abide by today, but just to name a few that I feel everyone should know.

  • Always have your hair pulled back while in the kitchen.
  • If you know you are baking, pull out your eggs and butter the night before to become room temperature.
  • Be sure to scrape the top off of your dry ingredient measurements to be as precise as you can be while baking.
  • Always treat your family as guests no matter what and never cook something you know they do not prefer.

Even with the so-called ‘rules’ all we ever had in the kitchen was pure fun and created so many memories. I hope that one day I have a collection of recipes scribbled down on random pieces of paper and have to remember where I placed it amongst all of the cookbooks in my kitchen cabinet. There is something about handwritten recipes or recipes that are torn out of magazines with the little notes, “good” or “very good!” written and circled in the corner that has them burned in my memory.

These Molasses Whoopie Pies are definitely one of the recipes with a circled “very good” and if you have never had a whoopie pie, be prepared to have your world rocked!

XO, Ashton
