Birthday Whoopie Pies Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray cookie sheets with cooking spray, or line with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
• In large bowl, mix all cookie ingredients with wooden spoon until wet dough forms. Spray hands generously with cooking spray; roll teaspoonfuls of dough into 2-inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on cookie sheets.
• Bake 10 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat all filling ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth. Cover; refrigerate until ready to assemble.
• For each whoopie pie, spread desired amount of filling on bottom of 1 cookie. Top with second cookie, bottom side down; gently press together. Roll sides of pies in sprinkles. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Line cookie sheets with parchment paper, silicone baking liners, or lightly spray with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat all cookie ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until moistened; beat 1 minute longer on high speed.
• Pour batter into a 1 gallon resealable plastic bag. Seal baggie and cut small hole off of one of the bottom corners.
• Pipe batter into 36 small circles onto cookie sheets about 1-inch apart to allow for spreading.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes until set being careful to not over bake. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets and place on cooling rack. Cool completely before filling.
• Once cookies are cooled spread frosting on flat side of one cookie. Top with the second cookie, flat side down to make a sandwich.

Steps:

• Position racks in the center and lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Make the cookies: Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla on medium-high speed in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until combined, scraping down the bowl. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture and milk in 3 alternating batches. Fold in the blueberries with a rubber spatula.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray. Arrange mounds of batter, about 2 tablespoons each, 2 inches apart; smooth the tops with a damp finger. Chill until firm, 30 minutes.
• Bake the cookies until lightly golden, rotating the pans halfway through, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese, butter, lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar on low speed until combined.
• Assemble the whoopie pies: Spread 2 tablespoons of filling on the flat side of 6 cookies and sandwich with the remaining cookies. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, overnight.

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Beat the cake mix, eggs, butter and 1/3 cup water in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and no bits of dry cake mix are left. Drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, using about a tablespoonful for each cookie (a small ice cream scoop will make this task easier) and spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until set around the edges but still soft in the center, about 8 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely (the rounded tops will sink slightly). Continue to bake cookies with the remaining batter.
• For the filling: Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium bowl in the microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until smooth. Pour the chocolate-butter mixture into the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth.
• To assemble: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the filling on the flat side of half the cookies. Sandwich with the remaining cookies, pressing slightly so the filling squishes to the edge. Roll the filling edge in sprinkles to coat. Serve or refrigerate up to overnight.

Steps:

• Make Classic Chocolate Cookie dough with 3 eggs and 3/4 teaspoon baking powder total; add 6 ounces melted semisweet chocolate with the eggs. Roll into balls and bake 6 to 8 minutes at 375 degrees; cool slightly. Flip over half the cookies, top each with a marshmallow and return to the oven to soften, 2 minutes. Top with the remaining cookies.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Place 1 cookie in each of 30 paper-lined muffin cups. Prepare cake batter as directed on package; spoon 1 heaping Tbsp. over each cookie. (All batter will not be used.)
• Bake 14 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 5 min.; remove to wire racks. Cool completely.
• Microwave marshmallow creme in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 15 sec. Gradually fold in whipped topping until blended.
• Remove liners from cupcakes; cut cupcakes horizontally in half. Fill with whipped topping mixture. Serve upside-down.
