Easy Whoopie Pie Recipe

 

It's no secret that my husband is pretty amazing.  He cooks.  He cleans.  He can style a mean beautiful pony tail.  He even bakes.  And when I say he bakes, I mean people beg for his recipes.  So today on the blog, I thought I'd share one of his most prized recipes that many people request-- Whoopie Pies.  Some people refer to these as "Homemade Oreos" or "Cake Mix Cookies".  Whatever you call them, they are delicious, and I doubt you will be able to eat just one.

Last weekend, he whipped up 4 dozen of these beauties for a little church Senior Recognition night we hosted for the high school grads in our congregation.  They were gone in a flash, and I was left with a list of people who had requested the recipe.  So here it is.  Are you ready?

Josh Carver's Whoopie Pies

Ingredients:

• 1 box cake mix (our favorite is Pillsbury's Devil's Food Cake, but you can substitute other cake flavors for variety)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• 1 T. of water

Mix all ingredients together.  Roll into balls.  Place on greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 ° for 10 minutes. 

After removing from oven, use a spatula to gently flaten cookies as needed.

Yield:  approximately 24 individual cookies (or 12 pairs)

Frosting:  Use your favorite frosting recipe or a storebought can of ready made frosting.  Pipe frosting on one cookie and put another cookie on top to make a 'sandwich'.  Voilà !
