SPICE CAKE WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, apple butter, oil and eggs until smooth. Let stand for 3-4 minutes.
• Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, a heaping rounded tablespoon at a time. Space them about 2 inches apart. (Using a small scoop will keep the size consistent.)
• Bake for about 14 minutes and let them cool completely.
• Frost the flat side of each "pie" half with either the marshmallow fluff (see Note below) or the cream cheese frosting, and place halves together.
• To make the cream cheese frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla, and beat for another 1-2 minutes.
• Store whoopie pies in sealed container in refrigerator.

PUMPKIN WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• Move oven rack to middle positions, and preheat the oven to 350° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and spices; set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk sugars and oil together. Add pumpkin puree and whisk to combine thoroughly. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until combined.
• Sprinkle flour mixture over pumpkin mixture and whisk until completely combined and no flour streaks remain.
• Use a cookie scoop with a 1.5-2 tablespoons capacity to drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart.
• Baking 1 cookie sheet at a time, bake 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cookie comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and cool on pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth with no visible lumps.
• Add cream cheese and beat until combined. Add powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Be careful not to overbeat filling or it will thin out. If you think the filling is too loose, put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
• Turn half of the cooled cookies upside down. Pipe filling onto the flat side of overturned cookies.
• Place another cookie, flat side down, on top of filling. Press down slightly so that filling spreads to cookie edges.
• Repeat until all cookies are used. If you're using sprinkles to garnish, hold each whoopie pie in your hand and sprinkle the garnish in the crack of the whoopie pie and turn until all exposed frosting is covered.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

CAKE MIX WHOOPIE PIES

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.

WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• For the chocolate cake:.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• Beat the sugar, butter and eggs with a mixer for about 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and beat for 30 seconds more. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, alternating with the milk and beating until smooth.
• Using an ice cream scoop, drop mounds of the batter (about 1/2 cup for each) onto the lined baking sheet (6 per sheet as they will spread when baking). Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• For the marshmallow filling:.
• Whisk together the sugar, honey, vanilla, egg whites and 2 tablespoons water (30ml) in a large heatproof bowl using a hand mixer. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Beat with the mixer until the mixture is thick, creamy and stands in peaks, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and beat for a minute or so more, then let cool completely. (You can keep the marshmallow filling in the refrigerator until ready to use.).
• Spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side (bottom) of a chocolate cake. Sandwich with another cake, pressing down gently to spread the filling evenly. Repeat to make 8 whoopie pies. Serve immediately or wrap the whoopie pies individually in plastic wrap (they can be frozen).
