Calories: 446kcal
Ingredients
Cookie
- 1 box chocolate cake mix {13.25 ounces}
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup butter {melted}
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup sour cream
Cookies n' Cream Frosting
- ½ cup butter {softened}
- 4 ounces cream cheese {softened}
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup Oreo cookies {crushed}-about 8 cookies
Instructions
Cookies
- Cover a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine cake mix, flour, butter, eggs and sour cream. Using a hand held mixer {or mix by hand}, mix the ingredients until just combined.
- Scoop dough onto the lined baking sheet using a medium cookie scoop {you should get 24 cookie mounds}. Refrigerate the dough scoops for 1-2 hours.
- Once chilled, preheat the oven to 350°. Take the chilled cookie dough and roll in your hand to form a smooth round ball. Place them about 2 inches apart on a silicone mat {or parchment paper} lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges and top of the cookie are set and the top is starting to crack. Move cookies immediately to a cooling rack to cool completely. Continue until all of the cookies are baked.
Frosting
- In a medium bowl combine butter and cream cheese. Use a hand held mixer to mix until creamy and smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix until completely incorporated.
- In a large Ziploc bag {or food processor}, crush chocolate sandwich cookies. Add crushed cookies to the frosting and mix until the cookies are evenly incorporated. Put frosting into a piping bag {or large Ziploc bag} and cut a large triangle {a small triangle won't allow the cookies to go through}.
Finishing the Whoopie Pies
- Pipe a generous amount of Cookies and Cream frosting onto half of the cookies and top with the other half of the cookies. Serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. These chocolate whoopie pies are also great refrigerated for up to 5 days and frozen for up to 3 months.
Notes
-
- Shape refrigerated dough into tall mounds rather than just baking them in scoops.
- Don't skip refrigerating the cookie dough. This step will help give you thick cakey cookies.
- Bake cookies for a little longer than normal cake mix cookies to give them the right texture.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a cooling rack, not a baking sheet to be sure that we don't over bake them.
