Red Velvet Peppermint Whoopie Pies
Share recipe
Description
I made these for a Christmas party this year and have been asked to make them again for 2 other parties. The perfect combination of chocolate and peppermint. I added a little green food coloring into the cream cheese frosting for a festive touch.
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package red velvet cake mix
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup butter, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 2. Mix cake mix, oil, eggs, and peppermint extract together in a bowl.
- 3. Roll the dough into walnut-size balls and space about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.
- 4. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the cookies start to crack, about 8 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
- 5. Beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add powdered sugar a little at a time to reach desired consistency, or to sweeten to your liking.
- 6. Spread filling between 2 cooled cookies.
