Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

It was gameday week again and I had to find something sweet for our lunch.  If it were red velvet that would make it even better.  I received this little cookbook from a lady at church and it had this recipe in it but with a devils food cake mix instead of red velvet.  A little substitution never hurt anyone.

Sometimes I get a little lazy taking my after pictures.  This was not a good showing of how they turned out.

This is all that is needed to make these little sandwich cookies.

Start with a cake mix in the flavor you would like.

1/4 cup softened butter

2 eggs

Now mix that.  The batter is going to be thick.

The mixer didn't work real well.

Now scoop them out.  You want them to be about the same size.  I had a cookie scoop but it broke.

Scoop and round them out and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.  Place in a preheated 350 oven.  Bake for 7-10 minutes.  Leave on the cookie sheet for about 2 minutes to cool.

Once they are cooled

Make your filling.  1 7oz jar of marshmallow cream.  I fluffed it with the hand mixer.

4 oz softened cream cheese

I added just a little bit of vanilla flavoring

Mix well.

Take one cookie and place some filling inside.  Top with another cookie

Enjoy.  Store in an air tight container in the fridge.
