Independence Day, also known as 4th of July or July 4th is the commemoration of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain. The celebration of Independence Day has been celebrated since 1776 as the birth of American independence with typical festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues.
To make this day more special, I am sharing below a simple and easy recipe for a Red Velvet Whoopie Pie which you can add onto your menu as a dessert, as well as some free printables-cupcake toppers, cupcake wrappers, tent cards, and star and flag decorations for your table.
Red Velvet Whoopie Pies (9 servings)
I have included two types of filling- marshmallow and cream cheese. They are both good, you may choose whichever filling you fancy!
Cookies
1 box Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ devil’s food cake mix
½ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 tablespoons red food color
1 box (4-serving size) chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix
Filling
Marshmallow Filling
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups marshmallow creme
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream Cheese Filling
1 8oz pk of cream cheese
1/3 c butter (both at room temp)
2 c powdered sugar
1 t of vanilla. Beat all ingredients until smooth
Topping
½ cup fresh blueberries
½ cup fresh raspberries
Directions
1 Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
2 In large bowl, beat cookie ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until moistened; beat 1 minute longer on high speed. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
3 Bake 13 to 16 minutes or until set (do not overbake). Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
4 In a large bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. For each sandwich cookie pie, spread about 1/4 cup filling on bottom of 1 cooled cookie. Top with blueberries, raspberries and second cookie, bottom side down. Store covered in refrigerator.
