Green Whoopie Pies
Soft green sandwich cookies (“whoopie pies”) filled with creamy frosting — perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any festive occasion.
Equipment
- Electric Mixer
- piping bag or resealable plastic bag
- Baking Sheets
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough let stand 10 min to soften
- 2 eggs eggs
- ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon green gel food coloring
- 1 cup cream cheese ready-to-spread frosting (from a 16-oz container)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 °F (176 °C). Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Let cookie dough sit 10 minutes to soften.
- In a large bowl, break up the cookie dough. Add eggs, flour, and green food coloring. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed about 30 seconds until well blended (do not eat raw dough after adding flour/eggs).
- Transfer mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip (or into a resealable plastic bag and cut off one corner). Pipe batter into circles about 1¼ inch diameter, spacing about 1 inch apart on cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cookies are set and spring back when touched. Remove from oven and cool on sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks until completely cool (about 30 minutes).
- To assemble, pipe frosting between two cooled cookies to form whoopie pies.
Notes
You can color cream cheese frosting green too, or use white frosting for contrast. Be gentle when piping so cookies don’t crack. Store in an airtight container. Nutrition values per pie as per Pillsbury: ~100 calories. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
