วิธีทำ

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (177℃). Line baking sheet pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vegetable oil until it is smooth and creamy. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring, and continue to mix until well combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

Add in half of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until mostly combined. Pour in the buttermilk and continue to mix on low speed until mostly combined. Add the remaining flour mixture and continue to mix on low speed until the batter is well combined and smooth.

Portion the cookie batter using a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) and place on the prepared baking sheet pans, allowing room for spreading. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes until they are puffed in the center and set on the edges. Cool the cookies on the pan for 2 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter and cream cheese for 5 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Add in the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until fully combined with the butter. Add in the vanilla extract and salt and mix until the ingredients are well combined.

Turn the mixer to medium speed and whip the buttercream for 2 to 3 minutes until it is smooth and creamy. Mix the frosting on low speed for several minutes to remove any air bubbles.

Assembling the Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

Fill a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M piping tip with the cream cheese frosting. Pipe a generous swirl of frosting on the bottom of one of the red velvet cookies and create a sandwich with another cookies. Repeat with all the cookies to make 10 whoopie pies.
