Method

Cookies

Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add in flour mixture gradually and mix on medium speed until fully combined. Scoop batter into 1 ½ tbsp or 2 tbsp portions on a parchment lined baking sheet or a greased whoopie pan.

Bake at 325°F for about 15 mins or until lightly golden. Let cookies cool completely before filling. The cookie texture will be cake-like.

Tip: Sprinkle cookies with your favorite sprinkles before baking for added color.

Cream Cheese Filling with Strawberries

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine cream cheese, butter, icing sugar, and vanilla. Mix until fully combined. Tip: for a firmer cheesecake style filling, make the cream cheese filling ahead of time and store in the fridge.

Slice strawberries and set aside.

Tip: do not overmix the frosting, the more you mix the softer and thinner it will become.

Assembly Method

Pipe or spread 2 tablespoons of frosting onto a cookie and layer with strawberry slices. Add a layer of filling to the other cookie and sandwich together. Tip: Place sprinkles in a small plate and roll the whoopie pie to coat the sides in sprinkles of choice.
