Raspberry Lemon Whoopie Pies

As requested:

Now this calls for alot of "name brand" items I just used what was on hand. I also didn't have wire racks I let them cool on my cutting boards. and for the golden shortening I used the normal crisco shortening because that is what I had and they turned out just fine. Next time however i will make them smaller as they turned out huge and I would rather have them bite sized.
