Whoopie Pies
These favorite snacks are easy to make when you use a box of chocolate cake mix for this cake-like cookie recipe. The creamy snow white filling is a blend of prepared frosting and whipped topping.
Ingredients
-
1 box (1 pound 2.25 ounces) chocolate cake mix
-
3 eggs
-
1/2 cup vegetable oil
-
1/4 cup cocoa powder
-
1-1/4 cups vanilla frosting
-
1-1/4 cups frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
Directions
1.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 4 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
2.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and cocoa powder. Beat on low for 30 seconds or until combined. Beat on medium speed for 2 more minutes; batter will be very thick. Drop batter by level tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart, for a total of 40 cookies. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through. Use a metal spatula to quickly transfer cookies to racks and allow to cool.
3.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together vanilla frosting and whipped topping. Spread a heaping tablespoon of frosting mixture onto flat side of one cooled cookie, then place the flat side of a second cookie on top. Repeat.
