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

• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 (15.25 ounce) package strawberry cake mix
• ½ (8 ounce) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®)
• ½ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 6

Freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.
