I’ve been dreaming about the Dole Whip since the day we left Disneyland two years ago. If I could find it locally, I’d eat it at least once a week! That’s not an option, though, so instead I’ve tried to recreate the Dole Whip flavor in sandwich cookie form.
My husband says you can’t take Dole Whip and turn it into a cookie. It’s like taking and apple and turning it into an orange. He also doubted the filling saying that it would squish out all over the place when you tried to take a bite. I didn’t let that deter me, though.
Dole Whip Sandwich Cookies {#Recipe}
Ingredients
- Cookie:
- 1 package White Cake Mix
- 1 small package Pineapple Jell-O
- 1/2 stick Butter melted
- 2 Eggs
- Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 package 8 ounces Mascarpone Cheese

Instructions

Cookie:
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Combine ingredients and mix well.

Make 1 inch balls and place them on a baking sheet.
-
Bake for 8-11 minutes.
-
Allow to completely cool on a cookie rack.
-
Filling:
-
Whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form but don't over-do it. (If you go too far, you'll curdle it and then make butter.)

Mix until smooth.

When the whipping cream has formed stiff peaks, fold in the mascarpone mixture.

Top with another cookie.
-
Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Serve and enjoy!
The first batch of Dole Whip Sandwich Cookies was a huge success! The filling didn’t squish out and my husband couldn’t get enough. He even told me that I should sell my recipe to Little Debbie! When I told him that wouldn’t work because they have a cold filling, he decided he’d take them to work and sell them for $1 each. He’s silly but it makes me happy to make things he enjoys eating!
I’ll be making these cookies pretty often! They are a delicious cookie and because they are pineapple flavored, I think they taste like summer!
