I just made the whoopie pies and then really spread out and came out almost flat. I checked my baking powder as one of your sales associates suggested and it did show it was fresh. Any other thoughts on how to keep them from flattening out?

Hello Judy- Did you use the cake enhancer? The cake enhancer will really tighten them up and prevent them from spreading too much. Also, I wonder if you are adding enough flour? This is the way we recommend measuring our flour: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipe/measuring-flour.html
One last suggestion- does your oven temperature run accurately? If the temperature is too low, the cookies will bake more slowly and spread more.
