How To Make quick & easy whoopie pies

• 
  Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare baking sheets by greasing or lining with parchment paper.
• 
  Step 2
  In mixing bowl, add cake mix, water, eggs, and oil. Mix on medium for 1 minute. Scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Add pudding and mix for 1 minute on medium. Scrape down side of bowl with a rubber spatula. Mix until completely combined, about 30 seconds.
• 
  Step 3
  Drop batter onto prepared cookie sheet. The size of the circle should be 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter.
• 
  Step 4
  Bake for about 14 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean. Transfer pies to cooling rack and let cool, about 15 minutes

  Step 5
  Make the filling! Combine all-vegetable shortening, confectioner's sugar, vanilla, milk and marshmallow fluff. Mix until you reach the desired consistency. Add more marshmallow fluff for a thicker filling.
• 
  Step 6
  Place the pies so that the flat side is facing up. Spoon a dallop of filling on this pie and top with the flat side of another pie to form the Whoopie Pie.

  Step 7
  Feel free to experiment with the fillings. Peanut butter instead of marshmallow fluff would be a great exchange! Some say these taste better after being chilled in the refrigerator for a few hours.
