Neapolitan Whoopie Pies

Not knowing what to do with some strawberry cake mix, and not wanting to make a boring cake, I came up with this recipe using some other odds and ends in my kitchen. Not only was it surprisingly tasty... it was surprisingly quick as well!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 9 servings

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package strawberry cake mix

  • cup vegetable oil

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ (8 ounce) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®)

  • ½ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

  2. Combine cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large bowl.

  3. Form dough into eighteen 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet. Flatten each ball with the palm of your hand.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.

  5. Add whipped topping to one side of each cookie, working in pairs. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cookies with crushed Oreos®, then sandwich with remaining cookies. Wrap each whoopie pie with plastic wrap and place in a 1-gallon freezer bag.

  6. Freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.
