These butterscotch whoopie pies are my go to treat when I want something impressive but don't want to spend all day baking. With just 55 minutes from start to finish, you'll have a dozen decadent sandwich cookies ready to share. The best part is that butter, one of our main ingredients, actually contains butyric acid which supports healthy digestion. These little golden cakes with their creamy filling taste like pure indulgence, yet they're surprisingly simple to make with basic pantry staples. Perfect for potlucks, lunch boxes, or whenever that butterscotch craving hits.
