Egg-Free Red Velvet Whoopie Pies Recipe Highlights
Oh my, do I have a yummy recipe for you today. My son LOVES everything red velvet, so I decided to create these Eggless Red Velvet Whoopie Pies as an ultimate Valentine’s treat from him. Two super-soft red velvet cookies sandwiched between a delicious and creamy cream cheese frosting. You’ll be making these amazing Eggless Red Velvet Whoopie Pies all year long!
What Are Whoopie Pies?
Whoopie pies are little mounds of cake sandwiched together with a sweet filling. They are also known as Gobs – what a funny name! These Eggless Red Velvet Whoopie Pies are soft, light, and fluffy! And bursting with the red velvet flavor. They’re super easy to make. You don’t even need to chill the cookie batter – YAY! These are such dreamy, easy-to-make sandwich cookies you’ll get requests time and time again!
Amounts are included in the printable recipe below (scroll down). You’ll need:
Cream cheese: Use the full-fat version that comes in blocks.Unsalted butterConfectioners’ sugarPure vanilla extract
Beat. Cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in yogurt, buttermilk, and vanilla. Combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Add enough food coloring to achieve a deep red hue. PRO TIP: Use damp fingers to shape the batter into a ball and smooth the tops after you scoop it onto the baking sheet. Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes before getting started to give it plenty of time to reach the ideal recipe temperature. Don’t overmix the batter. Mix just until you’ve evenly distributed the ingredients throughout the batter. Bake the whoopie pies as soon as the batter is ready. I like to use a medium cookie scoop to portion each cookie; it should be about 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter each. Use damp fingers to shape the batter into a ball and smooth the tops after scooping it onto the baking sheet. Don’t open the oven door until the whoopie pies have set. Leave the oven closed until the minimum time is stated in the recipe. Every oven is different, so baking times always have to be taken with a grain of salt. Oven thermostats can be wildly off, and that will all affect baking time, so keep an eye on yours. The whoopie pies are done when centers appear set, and the tops spring back when lightly touched.
Storing & Freezing Instructions
STORE: Place leftover whoopie pies in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. FREEZE: You can freeze the baked and filled whoopie pies for up to 2 months. Wrap them individually with plastic wrap and place them in a large freezer bag or container. Thaw wrapped whoopie pies overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
