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.

Steps:

• For the cookies: Sift the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
• Beat the granulated sugar and butter together in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

• Bake until the cookies puff up and the tops are no longer glossy, about 7 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. Let the baking sheets cool, then reline with fresh parchment, lightly coat with cooking spray and bake the remaining batter.
• For the filling: Beat the confectioners' sugar, butter and cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add the marshmallow creme, milk, lime zest and juice and beat until light and airy, about 5 minutes.
