What You'll Need

1 (18.25-ounce) white cake mix
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 drop each red, yellow, and green food color
1 cup milk
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 cup vegetable shortening
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil, and eggs; beat well. Divide batter into 3 separate bowls, then add a different food color to each bowl to make pastel red, yellow, and green cake batter; mix well. Drop tablespoons of batter onto baking sheets in an oval shape.
Bake 7 to 8 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool slightly, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a saucepan, combine milk and flour; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it forms a thick paste. Let cool.
In a medium bowl, beat together sugar and shortening until fluffy; stir in vanilla then cooled flour mixture, and beat until doubled in volume. Turn half the cooled cakes over on their backs; spoon each with a dollop of filling. Cover with remaining cakes, forming sandwiches.

Since I was going to the trouble of putting the mix into separate bowls to add food coloring; I added a few drops of additional flavoring to the individual colors. I used lemon flavoring in the yellow; almond in the green batter; and occasionally will use anise or maple in the third batter.

I made these and was not thrilled. The cookies were extremely sticky. I won't be saving this recipe.

Not only that, but you can use it as a frosting for cakes. I have it in a yugoslavian cookbook, and it is so smooth and creamy. Make sure you beat it for long enough, though. In my cookbook, I think you have to beat it for about 12 minutes! But well worth it.

This filling sounds like the frosting for a red velvet cake. It is delicious. BUT, very unhealthy. I don't like sweets but people rave about my red velvet cake so the filling must be good.

The filling really sounds nasty. I wouldn't make it with flour, milk, sugar and shortening--no way. It might taste alright, but it's not healthy at all...like eating paste as a kid. Or Cool Whip, which is mostly whipped oil. I would use a vanilla creme or a cream cheese frosting with only half the sugar. As Fluffy said, use a cream cheese mixture.

Then don't make it....problem solved. Why do you people clog up the responses with your personal hang ups....we don't care!!! Either make it and respond to it's taste or do not make it...very simple. Get a life.....

Try using a pudding mix then.

I have been making Whoopie Pies for several years, in fact the recipe for the filling is exactly the same, this idea of making them into easter cookies is terrific, thank you!

I am concerned about the filling. I usually use a creme cheese mixture for my filling in whoopie pies. Is the filling really good?
