If you love vintage cookies, these whoopie pies will bring you back to simple times but the recipe is made easier starting with a cake mix and the filling is so easy for a quick nostalgic blast from the past.

These chocolate cookies are filled with coconut marshmallow cream inside, and of course adaptable to a chocolate cream non coconut filling just by omitting the coconut.

During the last few years, we've even used other cake mix flavors and adapted our whoopie pies using spice cake, white cake, and lemon whoopie pies, so this recipe is very versatile.

Try adding different extracts to the filling to coordinate the kind of cake mix you're using when making the cake mix whoopie pies
