Ingredients used to make Red Velvet Whoopie Pie Sandwich Cookies:
Cookies
- 15.25 ounces cake mix Red Velvet
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- ½ cup vegetable oil
Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups powdered sugar more or less for consistency
How to make Red Velvet Whoopie Pie Sandwich Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Mix together the dry ingredients of the cake mix with eggs, and oil in a large mixing bowl (no eclectic mixer needed). Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the tops start to crack, about 8 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10-12 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a large bowl combine cream cheese, butter, milk, and vanilla. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing well with each addition. If the consistency is too stiff, add more milk.
- Spread a generous amount of icing on the bottom of a cookie with a piping bag, then sandwich it with another cookie, pressing firmly so that the icing comes all the way out to the edge. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Note for making the best red velvet sandwich cookies:
- Use a cookie scoop to keep the cookie size and shape consistent which makes it easier to make this red velvet whoopie pies recipe.
- Want to make these cookies even yummier? I added 1/2 cup of sweetened flaked coconut to my frosting the second time I made them and it was so good. If you love coconut, I highly recommend it!
How to store these chewy cookies:
After the cookies have cooled down to room temperature and have built the cookie sandwiches, place them in an airtight container and use them within 3-4 days.
