Red Velvet Peppermint Whoopie Pies

Directions

Ingredients :

1 (15.25 ounce) package red velvet cake mix

½ cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

lightly beaten

2 teaspoons peppermint extract

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

at room temperature

½ cup butter

at room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups powdered sugar

Methods :

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Mix cake mix, oil, eggs, and peppermint extract together in a bowl.

Roll the dough into walnut-size balls and space about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the cookies start to crack, about 8 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

Beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add powdered sugar a little at a time to reach desired consistency, or to sweeten to your liking.

Spread filling between 2 cooled cookies.
