We have always called these Gobs and I didn't hear the term "Whoopie Pie" until I moved south.
I made some gobs with a less than Tbsp scoop a couple of years ago in order to fit the gobs in a small truffle box for thank you gifts. After putting the gobs together I dusted them with a little powdered sugar, laced a small candy box with piece of parchment paper and filled the box with mini gobs. I got rave reviews and orders for more gobs. You can see them here: http://babushkaskitchen.blogspot.com/2010/10/gob-licious-baby.html
I've been craving gobs and these is the perfect time to try the pumpkin!
