Treat #1 for Marty and McGee today- chocolate chip whoopie. My twist – fat ricotta cheese as an addition in place of one stick of butter. I Also went with a chocolate fluff filling instead of the traditional vanilla.

• Whoopie pie ingredients
• 1 stick of butter, soft
• 1 cup ricotta cheese ( i used fat free, but you can use whatever kind you want)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tbs vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Directions – combine butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add ricotta cheese. Mix in egg and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients. Blend in chips. Roll 2 tbs dough into balls and chill at least a couple of hours. Preheat oven to 350. Stagger dough on a cookie sheet lined with nonstick baking liners. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. (Lightly golden on top). Cool on pan 10 minutes, remove and cool completely.

• Chocolate fluff filling ingredients
• 1 cup fluff
• 1 stick butter
• 1 – 2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tbs baking cocoa
• 1-2 tbs heavy cream or milk
• 1 tsp vanila
