Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Red food coloring
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened, for frosting)
• 3 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil and mix until combined. Then, beat in the egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, mixing until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 8

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 9

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

Step 10

To assemble the whoopie pies, spread or pipe a generous amount of cream cheese frosting onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with a second cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining cookies and frosting.

Step 12

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
