Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1 pound cream cheese, softened
  • 2 sticks butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time. Then beat in the buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla and red food coloring. Once combined, add the dry ingredients to wet. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Onto a parchment lined sheet tray, drop batter using an ice cream scoop, forming 2-inch round circles.

Bake for 10 minutes, until baked through. Cookies should be cake-like and light. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy.

Spread the cream cheese frosting between 2 cooled cookies and roll the edges in finely chopped pecans, if desired.

    I made these for a family party over the holidays and they were a big hit. The cheesecake filling is to die for but beware, it makes WAY too much. Also, be careful about the size of the cookies. If you aren't careful, you'll make burger sized whoopie pies! The cookies were soft and yummy.

    I think I am in LOVE!! I absolutely love red velvet cake but I must say that this was way better! I made Ms Paula's red velvet cake last week and had so much frosting left over. Upon cleaning my fridge this morning I came across the container, so I decided to give these a try. So glad I did. I used half a scoop from the ice cream scooper and they came out perfect. I only got about 10 cookies assembled. My kids were eating them up as I was making them. They loved these more than the cake. A++++ on this recipe. Will become part if my recipe book.

    Tasty? What did you think?I didn't have an ice cream scoop when I made the cookies so I eyeballed it and my cookies turn out pretty big! That made the samis pretty big, so they were kind of overwhelming to eat all in one sitting. So be careful with the cookie size! We had to cut them in quarters of halves b/c they were too rich to eat the whole thing. They were really good and flavors all came together perfectly. I will definitely be making these again!
