I’m not one to relish being chauffeured. It may sound dramatic, but when someone else is behind the wheel I instantly become uneasy—taxi drivers, shuttles, airport cars—all of it makes me jittery.

My worry isn’t about driving skills so much as it is about being in someone else’s hands. In my head I always imagine some elaborate kidnapping plot. A recent trip into the city for a blogging event had me spiraling into exactly that scenario.

The driver had a heavy Eastern European accent and smelled faintly of cigarettes, and my imagination promptly cast him as a villain straight out of a thriller. He talked on his phone loudly the entire ride, and in my anxious state, that only made things feel more ominous.

Of course, rationally he was probably arguing about something ordinary—family matters, traffic, or work—yet my thoughts ran wild. I texted a friend with a half-joking goodbye and she reminded me to leave hair for DNA evidence. It was comforting to have someone practical pop me back into reality.

Thankfully the ride ended without incident. I returned home safe and still able to share one of my favorite treats with you: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Whoopie Pies.

These whoopie pies use a tried-and-true chocolate whoopie pie base with an egg-free cookie dough filling. Because the filling contains no raw egg, it’s safe to eat straight from the bowl—so no need to worry about salmonella. It’s the best of both worlds: cookie dough flavor with the nostalgic whoopie-pie sandwich.

How to Make the Best Whoopie Pie Filling

Start by mixing the cookie-dough filling until smooth and creamy. The dough is soft enough to pipe yet firm enough to hold shape between two whoopie rounds.Chocolate chip cookie dough batter in a stand mixer bowl

Pipe a generous swirl of cookie dough onto one whoopie cookie, sandwich with another, and enjoy. The texture and flavor are pure comfort—sweet, buttery, and studded with mini chocolate chips.

I had some leftover filling and a pack of Chips Ahoy in the pantry, so I used the dough to make cookie sandwiches—cookie-dough filling tucked between store-bought cookies. It’s an ideal way to use extra filling and makes for a fun snack or party treat. Waste not, want not.
