What Are Whoopie Pies?
Traditionally, whoopie pies are made by using two small (hand size) chocolate cakes and adding vanilla filling to the middle. There are a ton of different ways to vary a classic whoopie pie recipe. Today, I'm showing you how to make whoopie pies that are perfect for any patriotic event or party.

Red White Blue Whoopie Pies Steps With Pictures
If it helps you to look at pictures of a recipe, then here are some photos of each step of the process.
Start by preheating the oven to 350 and then line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Add cake mix, flour, water, oil and eggs to a mixing bowl and mix well until evenly combined.
Divide batter in half and color one red and one blue.
Use a 2-tablespoon portion scoop to scoop the batter onto prepared baking sheets, keeping about 3" apart. Use the back of the scoop to flatten the pies to about ½" thick and about 2-½" around.
Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand on the baking sheet to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, place a large dollop of frosting onto the flat side of the blue round pie.
Add a red pie on top, and keep the flat sides together. Sprinkle red, white, and blue sprinkles on the frosting.
Repeat until all whoopie pies are assembled and decorated.
How To Store Whoopie Pies
Serve immediately, or store any leftover whoopie pies covered and in the refrigerator. These whoopie pies will last about three or four days in the refrigerator. The frosting will become more solid the longer you keep it in the refrigerator, so it's better to eat them as soon as possible.
How many whoopie pies does this recipe make?
This Red White and Blue Whoopie Pies Recipe makes 12!
How to prevent the cookies from tasting like food coloring
When coloring food, it is important to make sure you don't taste the FOOD COLORING. Some of the food dyes and gels have a very strong chemical taste, and who wants to taste Red Dye #3?
So I used Wilton No Taste Red and Royal Blue Color Gels, and the Sprinkles are Betty Crocker Brand for this tasty recipe.
