    This looks like such a great recipe but I am so new in the kitchen, can you please let me know which ingredients are for the cookie dough and which are for the icing? #blondemoment

      Hi Candice! No problem at all, I should just go in and make them separate myself. The cookies are just the cake mix, oil and eggs! Thats it! Simple huh?! The rest is the frosting! Let me know how you like them! Have a great day :)

    Hi! love your great ideas for recipies :D
    Have a question, I dont live in USA, what kind of cake mix do you use, maybe I can find it here. The Betty Crocker one would work? for the cookies you mix de box with eggs and oil and thats it? sounds to easy hahaha.
    Have a great day!

    1. Chef in Training

      Any chocolate cake mix will work! I actually use Betty Crocker :) and yep, and for the cookies its just the chocolate cake mix, eggs and oil! Simple huh!?! I love them! Thanks for asking and let me know how you like them! Have a great day!

    These look heavenly. However, you might need to have a heading for what is the ingredients for the cookies and what is for the creamy goodness in the middle. (some of us would have mixed it all together....ha ha)

    Thanks for sharing.

    Made these for my neighborhood block party. Sooooo good! I used another frosting recipe because I had the ingredients bought before I decided to try these out, but I'm sure they're great with that one too. Similar to a whoopie pie, but easier to make and better!!! Thanks for all the great recipes!

    Hi, I was wondering how many do these make approximately? Thanks!

    Hi! This looks amazing. I am just having a hard time understanding the dough part. It says Mix and roll into small balls. So i mix the chocolate flour and the eggs and oil and bake them for a little bit? Sorry :P

    These are very similar to what is known as "Whoopie Pies" in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania., USA. Made popular by the Amish community here. You can also use a spice cake mix, lemon cake mix or any of the newer citrus cake mixes. The fillings can be changed and sometimes marshmallow fluff is used for a quick frosting/filling. Some also mix in a bit of cream cheese to the frosting/filling. Many times they are individually wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled. Very popular at picnics or BBQ's.

    I just wanted to say I made these cookies and tweeked the recipe just a bit and added my own marshmellow frosting and they were amazing :)

  9. Becky

    I just stumbled upon this blog but the recipe for the cookies seems to have disappeared. Do you have a link for them anywhere else on your blog?

    1. Chef in Training

      so sorry about that! It should be fixed now :) Please let me know if it's not. Thank you for brining it to my attention
