Instructions for the Confetti Whoopie Pies:
The steps to complete this recipe is pretty simple. Generally, only five big steps are required and they are the following:
Firstly, preheat the oven to 375. While doing so, add cake mix, eggs, oil, vanilla, and sprinkles to a large bowl and stir until fully incorporated.
Secondly, using a small cookie scoop, scoop even balls of the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Just leave 2 inches between each ball of dough so it has room to expand. Thirdly, bake in a 375-degree oven for 10to 12 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. After that, just let it cool.
Fourthly, make the marshmallow icing by beating fluff and butter until smooth. Followed by, adding in the confectioners’ sugar a little at a time beating until smooth. Remember, the icing should not be super stiff but fall into a ribbon pattern.
Lastly, using the same scooper from the cookies, add one scoop of icing to the cooled cookies. Roll in the sprinkles. Serve at room temperature or serve cold.
Take note that these sandwiches will mimic an ice cream sandwich if chilled or lightly frozen, without melting. If the icing doesn’t fall in a ribbon pattern, add a teaspoon of water to loosen it up a bit. Avoid a wax-coated sprinkle for this dessert. It will make for a better mouthfeel.
