40 15 55

Ingredients

  • 1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • FILLING:
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • GARNISH:

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil and vanilla; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes (mixture will be sticky).
  • Drop by 2 tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until edges are set. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

  • In a large bowl, beat the shortening and butter until fluffy. Beat in chocolate mixture and vanilla.
  • Spread chocolate filling on the bottoms of half of the cookies, about 2 tablespoons on each; top with remaining cookies. Roll sides in miniature chocolate chips for garnish. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: about 1 dozen.

Agree with all above posts. Bake time is WAY too long, probably 8-10 min is plenty. A whoopie pie is meant to be soft and cake like...not hard and crunchy! Filling is ok if refrigerated overnight, too soft to make and serve cookies right away. Overall taste not bad, but would not make again, have much better recipes. Thought this would be quicker using cake mix, but very disappointed.

Wow, not good. The cookie was thin, hard and not that tasty. The filling had WAAY too much of a shortening taste -- tasted like mildly chocolate-flavored shortening. Will not make again. I should mention though, these were better (3 stars?) after refrigerating for a couple days because the cookie softened up.

These taste OK, but the cookies spread out too much and are too thin and the filling is kind of runny. I made some pumpkin whoopie pies for Thanksgiving that the cookies were much moister and thicker and the filling was fluffier.

Didn't care for the frosting..Way too much shortening and butter. Also, texture was not mousse-like. There wasn't much flavor, either. I don't think my family will care for these.

Overall the whoopie pie is pretty good. The cookie is good and the filling is pretty yummy. I was a little disappointed with the consistancy of the filling, it was a litte too thin and when you picked the cookie up to roll it in the choc bits it squeezed out the side quite a lot.
