Whoopie pies are not just for kids! These Mocha Cake Mix Whoopie Pies With Kahlua Buttercream Icing hit the spot perfectly when the craving for a sweet and slightly naughty treat strikes. This recipe takes the whoopie pie to the next level and turns them into a rich and decadent coffee flavored dessert made especially for adults.
A friend gave me a recipe for cake mix cookies and immediately I knew I had to make whoopie pies with it. I don’t have a lot of time to spend on baking, but when I do, I like quick and easy! These decadent cake mix whoopie pies are super easy to make and are ready for the oven in just a few minutes. And best of all, they make a ton. A whopping 5 dozen!
Even though this recipe calls for liqueur, you can eat as many as you want because each cookie only contains minute amounts of alcohol. The entire batch of Kahlua buttercream frosting only calls for 3-4 tablespoons of liqueur which is just enough to give the icing a subtle Kahlua flavor that blends harmoniously with the rich coffee and chocolate flavors of the cookie.
