One bite of these and you will be teleported back to the 1st grade!
I made these for my co-worker Adrian. I have made cake batter cookies for the office quite a few times, and he swears these are his favorite cookies in the world! So I thought I’d make them even more epic, and turn them into whoopie pies for his birthday!
Warning it is very hard not to consume less than 4 at a time!
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 package funfetti or rainbow chip cake mix
For the filling:
1 1/2 sticks of butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar,
depending on your desired consistency
add a few drops of red food coloring..who doesn’t love pink!?
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cream the butter and cream cheese. Blend in egg and vanilla. Add cake mix in two parts, mixing well (it will be a super thick batter—if it is too stiff, add a small quantity of heavy cream to the batter and mix well). Using a small cookie scoop, drop balls of cookie dough on an ungreased baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches between the cookies. (*If batter seems too thick, you can add a bit of water)
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool cookies for at least 15 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire cooling rack; the cookies are very delicate when they first come out of the oven and they will break if you try to transfer them too soon.
Once completely cool, add a generous dollop of frosting to the bottom of half the cookies, and then sandwich the rest of the cookies on top to form something that vaguely resembles a whoopie pie, but tastes like something else entirely.
