How to Make Patriotic Whoopie Pies

Ingredients: 

• 1 box white cake mix
• 1 cup soft butter, divided
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 8 oz cream cheese
• red and blue food coloring
• patriotic sprinkles

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. The parchment allows your whoopie pies to get a puffier texture. 

Mix together your wet ingredients in a medium bowl and then add your dry ingredients (the cake mix).

Divide your batter among 2 bowls. Add a few drops of red food coloring to one bowl, mixing well. Continue adding food coloring until you get your desired shade of red. Repeat this process for the blue in the other bowl.

Using a small ice cream scoop, drop 2 tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets and bake 10-12 minutes.

When they are done baking, let your whoopie halves cool on cooling racks.

While they are cooling, make your cream cheese frosting.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or stand mixer, cream butter, vanilla and cream cheese with the whisk attachment on medium speed until fluffy. 

Add in confectioners’ sugar to butter mixture and beat on low speed.

Place your frosting into a pastry bag if using. Once your whoopie pies are cooled, pipe icing or spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling onto one of the flat side of the blue cookies and then top with a cookie of another cookie to make a red and blue combo.

Add your red, white and blue sprinkles to a bowl. Roll edges of your whoopie pies in the sprinkles. Set up a wire rack with a cookie sheet or baking pan underneath to catch any frosting that may drip down.

Tips For Best Results When Baking Red White and Blue Whoopie Pies

Here are some tips and tricks to ensure your Whoopie Pies turn out perfect every time:

1. Measure ingredients accurately.
2. Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before beginning the recipe. This will ensure the ingredients combine easily and the batter is smooth.
3. Mix the batter until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense whoopie pies.
4. Use a cookie scoop to ensure each whoopie pie is the same size and bakes evenly.
5. Allow the whoopie pies to cool completely before filling them with frosting. This will prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cakes.
6. Place the frosting in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before piping onto the whoopie pies. This will make the frosting easier to handle and will help it hold its shape.
7. Gel food coloring is more concentrated than liquid food coloring and will give you more vibrant colors without affecting the texture of the batter.
8. Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to five days.
