Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

Red Velvet brownies are a delicious combination of the rich, chocolatey taste of Red Velvet cake and

the fun and easy texture of brownies. Originating in the Amish and popular throughout the United

States, these little treats are perfect for gatherings, drinks, or after-dinner snacks. Their bright red

color and creamy filling make them a favorite of kids and adults alike!

Red Velvet bars are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a glass of cold milk or a

hot cup of coffee to complement their delicious chocolate flavor. For a more unique treat, pair it with

vanilla ice cream or fresh fruit for a delicious experience.

Directions for Use

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

3. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla extract, and red

pepper flakes until well combined.

4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning

and ending with the flour mixture.

5. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking trays, approximately 5cm apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or

until done. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to

a wire rack to cool completely.

7. For the filling, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.

8. Once the cookies have cooled, place the filling next to one cookie and sandwich it between the

other cookies. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.

Variations and Tips

For a twist on classic red velvet, try adding espresso powder to cookie dough for extra chocolate

flavor or stir in chopped pecans for a snack. If you are on a different diet, you can also make gluten-

free cakes with the right flour or simplify the filling by using mascarpone instead of cheese.
