So without much fuss.. Here are my Red Velvet Whoopie Pies with Peppermint filling they only make 12 big cookies and you need 24... to make them into sandwiches.. so don't double the recipe.. just make them twice....If you make them mini whoopie pies... the recipe makes 40 sandwich cookies...
The recipe is from Better Homes and Gardens
If you have a small ice cream/cookie scoop your whoopie pies will be more uniform.. I do not have one .....
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
