The Only Thing Easier Than Making These Treats Is Eating Them!

  • whoopie pies

    For her 10th birthday she requested something I had never even heard of before—whoopie pies. But I can tell you that after I finished eating a couple I was kicking myself for going so many years without them! They are hand held bite of heaven.

    Basically a cake sandwich stuffed with as much frosting as they can hold, perfect for munching on at a birthday celebration—or after your kids are in bed and the house is finally quiet. And this recipe is secretly easy because it starts with a cake mix. But they’re so delicious you would never know!

     

    Ingredients:

    Whoopie Pie Ingredients

    2 packages of Devil’s Food Cake Mix

    4 eggs

    1¼ cup Crisco {shortening}

    Frosting Ingredients

    4 cups of powdered sugar

    8 ounces of cream cheese

    ½ cup butter

    1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

    pinch of salt

    Directions:

    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}.

    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 (optional).

    Quick tip: To help get perfect circles scoop batter into piping bag (or Ziploc bag with corner snipped off) and pipe in circles.
