The recipe.
They were really easy to make. The batter was straight forward: mix the dry, mix the wet, then mix them together. The recipe yields 12 pies, but made them smaller, getting 18 complete pies. The cookie/cake is super moist. I was worried that I may have slightly undercooked them, regardless they were awesome.
Pies cooling, pictured with a non-blog worthy chocolate carrot cake. Assembly was simple, I skipped the piping bag and just dished the frosting on with a large spoon, spread slightly and then put the pies together.
A friend gave me a bottle of Nielsen Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste recently and I've really enjoyed using it. I am partial to their extract, but this is the first time I've used the paste. The paste is used exactly like the extract, but I typically save it for frosting—where the lovely little vanilla beans are visible.
