Cake Mix Whoopie Pies Food

WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• To make the cakes: Prepare mix as directed on package except using only 3/4 cup of water. Drop batter onto greased cookie sheet (or use parchment paper to line pan) in 2 1/2 to 3 inch circles. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool.
• To make the filling: In a saucepan, combine milk and flour and cook, stirring constantly until it forms a thick paste. Let cool.
• In a medium bowl, beat sugar and shortening until fluffy. Add vanilla. Add cooled flour mixture and beat until double in volume.
• Turn the little cakes over on their backs. Spoon a dollop of filling onto half of the little cakes. Place the other half of the cakes on top of the filling to form sandwiches.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), add the cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil and eggs.
• Stir to combine then use a rubber spatula to get the ingredients off the sides of the bowl. Then beat for 2 minutes.
• Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to put at least 2 inches between each cookie (I use a 2 tbsp cookie scoop).
• Bake for 10-13 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Place the softened butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until smooth.
• Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth.
• Stir in the marshmallow creme and refrigerate until you're ready to assemble the whoopie pies.
• Lay half of the cookies upside-down (so the flat side of the cookie is on top).
• Use a piping bag or a cookie scoop to transfer the filling onto the cookie halves.
• Place the remaining cookies on top to form the whoopie pies.

CARROT CAKE WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• For the whoopie pies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat the carrot cake mix, butter and eggs until incorporated. Stir in the raisins
• and carrots. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• Using a small ice cream scoop, drop the batter by 2-tablespoon mounds onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Remove and cool 5 minutes on the sheets before moving to a wire rack and cooling completely.
• For the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla with a hand mixer until well combined and light and fluffy.
• To assemble: Put the filling into a resealable bag and snip the corner to make a 1/2-inch opening. Put the walnuts into a shallow dish or pie plate. Flip over one carrot cake cookie and pipe a dollop of filling onto the center. Top with another cookie and press gently to spread the filling to the edges. Roll the edges of the whoopie pie in the chopped walnuts and set aside. Repeat
• with the remaining cookies and filling. Arrange the pies on a serving platter and serve.

PB&J WHOOPIE PIES (CAKE MIX)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
• Combine cake mix, graham crackers, water, oil and eggs in a large bowl. Batter will be thicker than normal cake mix.
• Put spoonfuls of batter on paper-lined cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. You can vary the size of them as much as you want. Make sure that you use your spoon to somewhat form them into circles because they smooth out but don't change shape than much while they're baking. Bake for about 10-15 minute or until batter is set. Try not to overbake them because they're best when they're soft and not quite golden brown yet.
• Remove pies/cakes from oven and allow to cool completely (about 30 minutes).
• (You can decide to stop here and wrap and freeze the pies until you are ready to fill and eat them).
• While the pies are baking and/or cooling, make the peanut butter frosting by combining the peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar and milk in a medium bowl. You may decide to add more or less milk to the mixture depending on the consistency of your peanut butter and the desired consistency of your frosting.
• Line whoopie pies up in two rows such that the ones of approximately equal shape and size are next to each other. Put about half a tablespoon of jam (or more if you're like me and looove jam) on the flat side of one cake and some peanut butter frosting on the flat side of the cake in the other row. Put the two side of the cake together.
• Serve and enjoy! I typically serve and store my whoopie pies in somewhat flattened cupcake papers just to keep them from sticking to each other.
