Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Baking Sheet
  • Electric Mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon green food coloring
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Candy eyes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • In a second bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light. Add the egg, buttermilk, green food coloring, and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Cool the cookies completely on a wire rack. While they cool, beat the cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  • Spread the filling on the flat side of half the cookies. Top each with a second cookie to form a sandwich. Press candy eyes onto the tops.

Notes

Chill the assembled whoopie pies for 20 minutes before serving to help the filling set. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. If the green color looks too pale after mixing, add a few extra drops of food coloring to the batter before baking.
