Gingerbread Whoopie Pies with Lemon Creme image

The gingerbread cookie is so moist, and when it mixes with the lemon creme, its amazing. The peppermint adds a little more spunk overall. This recipe comes from McCormick.

These were okay, but I've had better. The gingerbread cookies were a little too soft and the lemon creme filling was a little too runny.

Meh. I wasn't really impressed with these. The gingerbread cookies were a little dry and the lemon creme filling was too tart for my taste.
