Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Salted butter (softened)
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Grape or strawberry jelly
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and all-purpose flour. Stir to evenly distribute the flour.
Step 3
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup of the peanut butter to the dry ingredients. Use a hand or stand mixer to beat until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Step 4
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded dollops of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure the whoopie pies match when sandwiched together.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies spring back when lightly touched. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6
Prepare the peanut butter filling by combining the softened butter, remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat with a mixer until light, fluffy, and smooth.
Step 7
Assemble the whoopie pies by spreading or piping a dollop of the peanut butter filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Spread 1 teaspoon of jelly on the flat side of a second cookie, then sandwich the two together.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining cookies, filling, and jelly to create 12 whoopie pies.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
