Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

Sad. That one word pretty much sums up my blogging lately. I know I get frustrated when the blogs I frequent don't have new posts daily, so I thought I'd go through pics on the computer and actually post them. Not daily, but at least weekly instead of bimonthly. So there. Whew!

Back in February (yikes!), I tried a new recipe for some red velvet whoopie pies. I found the recipe here. I love Red Velvet cake, cream cheese frosting and whoopie pies. How can you go wrong?

The batter is thick. Kind of a cross between a dry cake/wet cookie batter. I used a smallish-medium cookie scoop to make the cookies. After they cooled, I paired up the cookies by size. Then I piped a little dollop of cream cheese frosting in the middle and made a little cookie sandwich.




Cute, but how did they taste? I was a little disappointed. The cake was a little dry. I didn't think they had a ton of flavor. The guys inhaled them, though.



Still, they are cute. Try them. Let me know what you think.
