Whoopie Goldberg Pies

I have a new obsession...whoopie pies!! Who knew they were so easy to make. I was on foodnetwork.com looking up delicious Easter treats and a recipe for carrot cake whoopie pies came up. The beauty of this recipe is you can substitute with any cake mix and with any frosting.

Ingredients:
Carrot cake mix
A stick of softened unsalted butter
3 eggs
Grated carrots (optional)
Walnuts (optional)
A can of cream cheese frosting

Preheat the oven to 375. Put the mix, butter, carrots, walnuts and eggs in a bowl and beat until combined. Put the bowl in the fridge for about 30 minutes. The batter has to be a bit hard or it won't set right. Take the bowl out of the fridge and with an ice cream scooper, drop scoops of the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Throw it in the oven for about 20 minutes or until set. Let them cool completely, put a healthy amount of frosting on the bottom of 2 cakes and squish them together to make a whoopie pie!! You can put raisins or nuts on the frosting before squishing, but I decided not to. I made this same recipe with lemon cake mix and lemon frosting and put coconut flakes on top of the frosting before squishing the 2 sides together. Happy Easter!!!
