If you're expecting anything like red velvet cake, you will be sorely disappointed. They ended up tasting pretty good, but not like red velvet. The cookies were very dry the first day (the next day, after they soaked up some of the moisture from the filling, they were much better. They were not light, airy, or moist, like red velvet should be. I understand they need to be a little sturdier because they're whoopie pies, but regular whoopie pies are much lighter and fluffier than these. I followed the recipe exactly, and sifted the flour seven times. One thing that seemed really strange was that the recipe said to whisk the flour into the liquid mixture--there's no possible way to use a whisk; it's too thick. I also had to flatten out the scoops of batter/dough with my fingers.

These are a bit heavy and dense, but maybe because I didn't sift the mixture. However, it doesn't mention to sift the flour mixture...I should have read all reviews before attempting to make these. These came out huge when told to scoop out "heaping tablespoon" amount. Does anyone have suggestions for a thicker cream cheese frosting, that's not too sweet? Overall, I would attempt to make this again, but with a few adjustments.

I made these to bring into work for a sweet treat for my co-workers and it was a hit. There's none left!

I just made these as Valentine's Treats for my daughter's teachers. They are very delicious. I'd call them Red Velvet Cookie Sandwiches though, as the red velvet has much more of a cookie consistency. It's not as soft and moist as a traditional whoopie pie. I agree with a comment below about sifting the flour. I also added in more confectioner's sugar than was called for in the icing. I will definitely make these again!

Have made these once and will be making them again very soon-they are the perfect Valentine's Day treat! However, here in New England, home of the whoopie pie, I made the more traditional filling , which includes marshmallow fluff, instead of the cream cheese filling. They came out perfectly!
