My mother was PA Dutch and this is the recipe she handed down to me that was in our family. I have loved them since my childhood and will be whipping up a batch for my birthday soon. Thanks for passing on the tradition.

I’m so happy to find this! I have the recipe for the cookies ( from my Mother in Central PA) but I couldn’t find the right filling. This is IT! This is what I remember from my childhood! 🧡

Thanks so much for posting this original "Gobs" recipe!! My sister in law was from PA, is how I first learned of them. Unfortunately, she passed away from cancer at a young age. I had the handwritten recipe for years, but it was eventually lost. I am going to make these today. Thanks again for bringing back good memories.

I remember getting Whoopie pies at the Bird-in-Hand Bakery when I lived in Lancaster, PA. This version is different...not as chocolatey and the filling is greasy. Thank you for trying. Maybe the ones I had in PA weren't as good as I remember...you know, when you remember something really good but are disappointed when you try it again. Peace to you and yours.

Hi, thanks for sharing 😊😊

I finally found an authentic gob recipe! Thanks so much. Any other filling is an impostor, haha! You must be from somewhere in PA, because this is really the only way to make gobs. Thanks again… I’m gonna have to whip up a batch soon!

You need to cook until it’s like a thick frosting. Constant stirring and it as it cooks. Let it cool in the fridge. I just pop my little pan in the fridge to speed up the cooling process and the mixture will be thickened almost a little rubbery looking. Once you’ve cooler it and you’ve added your other called for ingredients beat with mixer. If you’d like, I beat my filling with my large mixer for 10 full minutes on med high. It works every time!

It's gobs in Western PA

I'm from Johnstown PA which is the Home of the Dutch Maid Bakery unfortunately which is now closed like every other place here these days, Dutch Maid is the Trademark holder of the Name of the gob. I wish the bakery was still around because the area where they were on Scalp Ave used to smell so good because of all of the bake goods. All though Gobs are a massive popular treat here I'm not a fan of them at all but everyone In my family loves them , although of course they would cause my family is part Dutch.

Oh I love whoopie pies. But I want to call them whoopie cakes

I have this recipe, given to me in handwritten instructions by my childhood friend from over 50 years ago. It's the only whoopie pie I cook. No buttercream, cream cheese or marshmallow fluff used🤢. A cooked filling, not to sweet and well worth the effort. I never did find out what old cookbook she copied it out of, this is the first time I've ever seen it online! Any idea where your grandma got this recipe? Very grateful you posted it, my old paper copy, written in pencil, is barely legible now! LOL🤗

Then You probably ate Whoopie Pies. they have a much sweeter icing. Gob icing is the original cooked and less sweet version. Which is the Western PA version. We prefer the LESS Sweet version better here. IF YOU LIKE YOUR icing sweeter. Look online Tons of recipes that offer the way too sweet version of icing (which to us in Western PA is gross) But, to each his own I guess...lol

YUMMY 😋 AMAZING WHOOPIE THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL ✨,

This is the best kind of Gob Icing...it is NOT TO SWEET. That is where MOST people who try to make REAL Gobs go wrong. They fill them with the wrong icing, Honestly I think that is the deference between Gobs and Whoopie Pies. The "Original Gob's" were made with this "less sweet" "cooked icing" and are SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER than their "Whoopie pie cousin" Which are filled with the VERY Sweet icing made in EASTERN PA.. So yes the Gob is BETTER!! I've made this type of Gob for over 30+ years in Western PA.
