Whoopie Pies

In the August 2004 issue of Down East Magazine (to which I subscribe), there is mention of a Maine treat known as "Whoopie Pies." A photo of the pie was included, along with a list of bake shops in Maine that are claimed to be the best "whoopie makers."
Curious, I went browsing and found a recipe for the pies at AKC Marine (web site now defunct):
Whoopie Pies
The Cookies
Mix, then cool completely:
1/2 C cocoa
Cream together:
Add & beat well:
Add cool cocoa mixture and blend. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375-degrees F for ten to twelve minutes.
The Filling
Cook until thick:
Cream together:
Add cooled and cooked mixture and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. Add three tablespoons of marshmallow; fluff and beat well. When the cookies are cooled, generously spread the filling over one cookie. Press together with another cookie; serve. Best when eaten fresh. Whoopie Pies can be individually wrapped and stored in the refrigerator.
The pies sound extremely rich. Since my plan is to move to Maine in the not-too-distant future, I hope to learn the "whoopie" technique before arriving there.
