Ingredients
Whoopie Pie
 ½ cup butter, softened
 ½ cup sugar
 1 large egg
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 1 ¼ cups flour
 1 tbsp flour
 ½ tsp baking powder
 ¼ tsp baking soda
 ¼ tsp salt
 ¼ cup buttermilk
 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
 2 tsp grated lemon zest
Filling
 ¼ cup butter, softened
 ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
 1 tbsp honey
 1 tsp lemon zest
 ½ tsp vanilla
 1 ½ cups confectioners sugar
Directions
1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place parchment paper on 2 baking sheets.

2

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk in the 1 1/4 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to remove lumps. Add dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture slowly, alternating with buttermilk. Beat well after each addition.

3

In a new bowl, toss the blueberries and lemon zest with the 1 tbsp of flour, and then gently fold it into the dough mixture.

4

Drop the dough by tablespoon-fulls 2 inches apart onto the parchment paper-covered baking sheets. Bake in the 350-degree oven until the edges begin to brown (about 12-15 minutes).

5

Let the cookies cool on the pans for a few minutes, and then move to a wire rack to let them cool completely.

Filling Directions
6

In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese fully. Add in the honey, lemon zest, and vanilla. Gradually beat in confectioner's sugar until the mixture is smooth.

7

Once cookies have fully cooled, spread your frosting mixture onto the bottom of half of the cookies, and cover with a 2nd cookie!
