Red Velvet Whoopie Pies - Video Recipe (5 Ingredients)
Hello, and welcome to "In the kitchen with Matt", I am your host Matt Taylor.
Today we are going to make Red Velvet Whoopie Pies.
These little sandwich cookies are yummy and really really easy to make, only five ingredients,
super simple.
Let's get started.
For the tools and the ingredients we have: 1 box of red velvet cake mix, I have one can
of frosting, together these were only about 3 bucks at the grocery store, really cheap.
I have a tablespoon here, I have a plastic bag which we will use as a piping bag, or
you can use a piping bag.
6 tablespoons of butter, which we will melt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 large eggs,
I have a cookie sheet with an artisan mat.
I will put a link down below on where you can get one, I really like artisan mats, they
work great, or you can use parchment paper, or just go ahead and grease the top of your
cookie sheet.
I have a bowl and a wooden spoon, and I have some drying racks.
First what I am going to do is preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Then what I am going to do is we are going to take the butter here and I am going to
melt it.
I am going to melt it in the microwave, start with 30 seconds, 15 seconds, until it is nice
and melted.
Alright, and now what I am going to do is I am going to open up my cake mix, and I am
going to pour it in there.
And now lets go ahead and add our butter, and crack our eggs and put those in there.
And then add or vanilla extract.
Really easy that is all we do, and then let's go ahead and mix this together, with our wooden
spoon.
I scraped the sides with a rubber spatula, now what we want to do is form our batter
or our dough, into little cookies, and I am going to take this tablespoon, we want it
about 1 inch diameter balls, so to help it be the same size, about that size, and you
can just put it together like that, and just scoop them out.
And you can make them smaller or bigger if you like.
Ok and then I am going to bake these at 375 for 7 to 9 minutes.
Ok once you take them out of the oven, let's let them cool on the pan for about a minute,
and then we will transfer them over to our cookie racks, and then let them cool completely
on there.
Ok now I am going to go ahead and transfer them over to the rack.
And while this batch is cooling, I will go ahead and bake up the rest of them.
Once our cookies have cooled completely, it is time to finish them off.
So what I am going to do is I am going to take my frosting here, and my bag, and go
ahead and scoop in a bunch of this, and then I made myself a piping back pretty much.
I am going to come over here and cut the tip off.
Ok, and then what we want to do is turn half of these over, some of these are different
sizes, so you want to match up the sizes, and what we do is we just go on here and we
will just go around, like that.
And go ahead and put on the top.
And you can put as much or as little frosting as you want on these.
And you can use whatever kind of frosting that you want, if you want to use a nice cream
cheese frosting, I have video on that down below you can check out that recipe.
All right our red velvet whoopie pies are done.
Then look fantastic.
It was really really easy to make these, 5 simple ingredients.
Total time was about 20 to 25 minutes.
It couldn't be easier, if I can do it, you can do.
