Ingredients
  

Cookies
  • 15.25 ounces Devils Food Cake Mix
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons instant chocolate pudding mix
Marshmallow Frosting
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, add more powdered sugar if needed
  • 7 ounces marshmallow creme
  • 1/3 cup sprinkles

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350℉. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix cake mix, oil, water, eggs, vanilla, and pudding mix until smooth – about 2 minutes.
  3. Spoon rounded scoops of dough onto parchment paper about 2 inches apart.
  4. Cook for 10-11 minutes. You should get about 36 cookies which will yield about 18 whoopie or moon pies.
  5. Let set on baking sheet for about 1-2 minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Let cool completely.
  6. Frosting: Add butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar to a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
  7. Add in marshmallow creme and stir until all is creamy.
  8. Gently frost the back side of a cookie and then top it with another cookie.
  9. Roll the sides of the Whoopie Pies in the sprinkles so the sprinkles adhere to the frosting.
