City folk like Gobs too

I grew up eating Gobs, the healthy  Pennsylvania snack consisting of two devil's food-like cookies with a generous portion of frosting in between them. The New York Times has an article about the migration of the dessert to such decidedly mainstream and urban outlets as Magnolia Bakery and Williams Sonoma ($49/dozen!)
The article is a fun read, and for those of you who have never had one, it appears that they have or are coming to a bakery near you. Even if you can't find them, you can always order them from Yost's Dutch Maid bakery in Johnstown (above), or make them yourself - there are pretty good recipes here and here.
