Whoopie Pie Recipe

Easy Whoopie Pie Recipe

(using cake mix)

Whoopie Pies are like the new cupcakes, maybe even the new cake pops.

They are easy to make, adorable and beyond yummy.  You can make them from scratch, or...you can be like me, and doctor up a cake mix to create these treats.

Let's make these bad boys together:

Whoopie Pie Ingredients:

2 packages of Devil's Food Cake Mix

4 eggs

1 1/4 cup Crisco {shortening}



Frosting Ingredients:

4 cups of powdered sugar

8 ounces of cream cheese

1/2 cup butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

pinch of salt 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Combine all the whoopie pie ingredients and mix.  The batter will be thick, that is normal. 

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. This is VERY important.  The whoopies cook really fast and the parchment paper helps prevent them from burning on the bottom.

Use a tablespoon to scoop spoonfuls and place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.





Bake for 8-10 minutes. Watch closely because they cook really fast. 

This batch will make about 24 complete whoopie pies {2 cookies per pie}.



While you finish baking the rest of the pies, get started on the frosting.

Combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth.

Put all the frosting in a large Ziploc bag and cut a small hole in the tip.



Take your cooled whoopie pies and apply a large dollop to one side using the plastic bag.

Put the other whoopie on top.

Add your favorite sprinkles.



And enjoy!



You can even add food coloring to the frosting for a more festive look.

  

Holy cow, these are good. Seriously.

Hurry and wrap them up and get them out of your house,

unless you're prepared to eat all 24 by yourself in one night.
