Discover a wickedly delightful twist on the classic whoopie pie with our cake mix cookie pies! By using boxed cake mix for the outside "cookies" and sandwiching in a luscious frosting, you’ll create a light and fluffy treat that’s simply irresistible. The combination results in a soft texture that’s similar to the traditional whoopie pie but is so much easier to make. Try this variation and experience the joy and ease of biting into a dessert that’s as freeing as it is delicious.
