Best Strawberry Cheesecake Whoopie Pies Recipes

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Beat together the brown sugar, butter and vanilla in a large bowl with a stand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined. Reduce the speed to low and add the dry ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients; beat after each addition until just combined.
• Scoop tablespoon-mounds of batter and place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. You should have 20 cookies per baking sheet.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the tops of the cookies spring back when lightly touched, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Using a small fine-mesh sieve, dust the tops of the cookies with confectioners' sugar.
• For the filling: While the cookies cool, whisk the cream cheese and marshmallow creme together in a medium bowl with a handheld mixer until smooth and well combined. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip.
• Gently fold the strawberries and jam together with a rubber spatula in a medium bowl until combined; set aside.
• Flip half of the cookies so they are flat-side up; pipe a ring of cream cheese filling around the edge of the cookies to create a "dam," then spoon about 1 teaspoon of the strawberry filling in the center. Sandwich them with the remaining cookies flat-side down. Using a small fine-mesh sieve, dust the tops of the cookies with confectioners' sugar.

STRAWBERRY PINK LEMONADE WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• For the whoopie pies: Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs and melted butter until incorporated, about 2 minutes. The mixture should be much thicker than cake batter and should hold its shape. Measure 1 rounded tablespoon of batter and place on the baking sheet (use a small ice cream scoop if you have one) 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart, ending up with 22 cookies. Freeze the baking sheets of cookie dough for 30 minutes.
• While the cookies freeze, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the cookies until the tops spring back when touched, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
• For the filling: Using a mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and half the powdered sugar; mix until well incorporated. Then add the lemon juice, zest, remaining powdered sugar and the food coloring; mix again until smooth. Chill about 30 minutes.
• Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of the filling on to the flat side of 11 cookies. Top with the remaining 11 cookies to create a sandwich. Store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy!
