Red Velvet Whoopie Pies
From Annie's Eats
For the cookies:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp. cocoa powder
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 8 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk, at room temperature
- 1 oz. red food coloring
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 5 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2½ cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- Using a heart cookie cutter, trace hearts on parchment paper & place on a cookie sheet.
- In a med. bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add vanilla.
- With the mixer on low, beat in about a third of the dry ingredients, followed by half of the buttermilk, beating each addition until incorporated. Repeat until all the buttermilk & dry ingredients are added.
- Finally, add in the food coloring.
-Fill a large freezer bag with the batter, snip the tip, and pipe heart shapes onto the parchment paper, but don't fill the entire outline.
- Bake 7-9 minutes, rotating the pans half way through.
- Let cool, then match similar shaped hearts (one up & one down)
- Fill the face-up heart with cream cheese frosting, then form the delicious sandwiches!

ReplyDeleteBahaha I'm not sure a certain husband of yours would approve of that. But, I would be glad to be your treat baking mistress! I always need people to share things with as to not eat the entire batch myself.
