Ingredients

Whoopie Pies

1 (21-ounce) package gluten and wheat-free chocolate cake mix

1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, melted

1/2 cup water

3 large Land O Lakes® Eggs

1 to 2 teaspoons sea salt

Filling

1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/3 cup prepared caramel sauce

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Combine cake mix, 1/2 cup melted butter, water and eggs in bowl; stir gently to combine. Let batter rest 30 minutes.

  2. STEP 2

    Heat oven to 400°F.

  3. STEP 3

    Drop batter by slightly rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto parchment-lined or lightly greased cookie sheets. Sprinkle each cookie with sea salt. Bake 5-7 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Transfer to cooling rack.

  4. STEP 4

    Place 1 cup butter into bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually, beating at low speed until well mixed. Add caramel sauce, 1 teaspoon sea salt and vanilla. Beat until well mixed.

  5. STEP 5

    Pipe or spread rounded teaspoonful filling onto bottom of 1 cookie; place second cookie, bottom-side down over filling. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.

Tip #1

- Letting batter rest allows batter to rise and increase volume of whoopie pies.

Tip #2

- To make ahead, bake cookies as directed. Cool completely. Place cooled cookies in single layer in resealable plastic freezer bag. Freeze up to 2 months. Let stand at room temperature until thawed. Prepare filling and fill cookies as directed.

Tip #3
