Gooey Glazed Lemon Whoopie Pies

"These ooey-gooey treats are not to be handled lightly.  Fork required!"

Cookies

1 stick of butter, softened
1 box of lemon-flavored cake mix
1 box of lemon flavored instant pudding mix (4 serving size)
1 tbsp of lemon zest
1/2 cup of milk
2 eggs

                                                                         Filling

                                                                        1/2 cup of store-bought vanilla frosting
                                                                        1-7 oz. jar of marshmallow creme
                                                                        1 tbsp of lemon zest

                                                                        Glaze

                                                                        1 cup of powdered sugar
                                                                        2 tsp of heavy cream
                                                                        2 tsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice

     Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream the butter, cake mix, and lemon zest together with a mixer.  Then add the milk and eggs and beat on high until well combined.  Drop by heaping tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until set.  Cool for 2 minutes, and then move cookies to a sheet of wax paper.  Repeat with the remaining cookie batter.  After cookies have cooled completely, mix the filling ingredients together in a medium bowl.  Spread about 1 tbsp of filling on the bottom of a cookie and top with another cookie, bottom side down.  GENTLY press cookies together.  After assembling cookies, mix the glaze ingredients together and pour into a zipper sandwich baggie.  Cut the very corner of the bag and pipe the glaze over the cookies.  Enjoy!
