  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the centers are set. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan and the parchment to assemble.
  • For the frosting - in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter until smooth.
  • Add in the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth.
  • Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until combined. Bump up the speed to medium and mix until smooth and fluffy, scraping the sides often.
  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag, set aside.
  • Once the cookies are cool, partner them up with similar size and shaped cookies.
  • Cut a hole in the end of the piping bag and pipe a mound of frosting on one half of the cookies.
  • Sandwich with the other half to complete the whoopie pie.
