Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix
2 large eggs
1 stick melted butter
1/2 small package of dry orange jello powder mix
1-1/2 Tbsp orange juice
3 Tbsp flour, if needed
1/2 c crisco shortening
1/2 container of small jar of fluff marshmallow
1 Tbsp orange juice
2 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
orange sprinkles for tops

Steps:

1. In large bowl, mix cake mix as directed, w/ the ingredients listed on the box, except add dry jello mix & orange juice. Preheat oven as directed on box. Spray a small ice cream scooper w/ a little cooking spray.
2. If the batter is too sticky, add a little of the flour mentioned in this recipe. Set parchment papers on several cookie sheets. With the ice cream scooper, scoop 1" balls of dough onto a cookie sheet. Sprinkle the orange colored sprinkles on every other scooped ball. (These will be the tops.)
3. Bake 9-11 minutes, or until slightly firm to the touch. Let cool a minute or 2 then remove to racks to fully cool. In medium bowl, Beat Crisco, Fluff, 1Tbsp orange juice, powdered sugar & 1 tsp vanilla, until smooth. Once cookies are cool, place about 1 Tbsp, ( or more, depending on how full you want them,) of filling onto every other cookie, ( these will be the bottoms,) Spread w/ a spoon. Place the tops w/ the sprinkles over the bottoms w/ the filling, press down lightly. I usually put them in a long, wide container w/ parchment paper in between & on top, so they don't stick together, but, alas, I had none left to put away since everyone ate them right away! lol.

Tips:

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps them combine smoothly and evenly.
Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to line your baking sheets. This prevents the whoopie pies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Chill the dough for at least 2 hours before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the cookies until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly soft. Overbaking will dry them out.
Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This helps prevent the filling from melting and making the cookies soggy.
For a richer flavor, use homemade whipped cream or cream cheese frosting instead of store-bought.
Decorate the whoopie pies with sprinkles, edible glitter, or other decorations before serving.
