Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Who knows where the name of this delicious delight came from, perhaps it was from a child like my Karlie who yelled, "Whoopie" over the excitement of this treat!  Recently I was asked to help with food at a wedding reception.  These were perfect and I loved helping out with the food and hearing all the comments made about the cookies.  They were simple to make,so tasty and even better the next day.  So the trick is make them a day ahead of time!!

Chocolate Whoopie Pies
from my friend Liz
2 boxes Devils food cake mix (Pillsbury)
1 C. oil
4 eggs

Mix together and roll into a 1" ball.  Dough will feel greasy. Try to make the cookies as uniform as possible. 

Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Set them aside to cool.

Filling-
1- 8oz. softened cream cheese
1/4 C. softened butter
2 1/2 C. powdered sugar
1/2 T. vanilla

Beat all ingredients together until you have frosting consistency.  *You may need just a little more powdered sugar.

After the cookies are cooled, spread filling in the middle to make a sandwich.

I put the frosting on and my cute helper added the tops!

For sure a big hit!!

Enjoy!
