Blue Velvet Whoopie Pies
1 box Signature Blue Velvet Cake Mix
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cup water

Filling:
1 stick of butter
2-3 cups powdered sugar
vanilla

Baking Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine cake mix, flour, eggs, vegetable oil and water in a large bowl. Mix until thoroughly blended.
• Use a teaspoon and scoop batter onto cookie sheet. Put no more than 12-15 per sheet, as the batter will spread.
• Bake 10 minutes. Let cool completely and set aside.

Beat together butter with one cup of powdered sugar.  Continue to add sugar till you get the flavor/consistency you desire.   I added a dash of vanilla as well.  Spread 1 teaspoon of frosting on the flat sides of half of the  whoopie pies and top with remaining pies.   If you do not want to make a filling, then pick up a jar of Duncan Hines instead!
