New York Jets Whoopie Pies ~These add a very bright color when serving. Of course you can make them for St. Patrick’s Day, but you can use them for school colors for a grad going away, or that Big Rivalry Football game. A great game day snack, you can easily use different shades of food coloring to honor the two teams. The combinations are endless! Whoa, they are flooding my mind!

Ingredients
CAKE:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp green food coloring
FILLING:
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
CAKE:
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment; set aside. In medium bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
-
In large mixing bowl beat butter on medium to high 30 seconds. Beat in brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk, beating after each addition just until combined. Stir in food coloring.
-
Spoon batter in 1- or 2-inch diameter rounds, about 1/2-inch high on prepared baking sheets, allowing 1 inch between each round.
-
Bake 6 minutes for 1-inch cookies or 7 minutes for 2-inch cookies, or until tops are set. Cool completely on baking sheets on rack. Remove cooled cookies from baking sheets and frost with favorite filling.
FILLING:
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth with no visible lumps. Add the cream cheese and beat until combined. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth. Be careful no to overbeat the filling, or it will lose structure.
-
Pipe filling in between onto bottom of one whoopie pie and sandwich between another whoopie pie. Store whoopie pies in fridge until ready to serve, then allow whoopie pies to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

I have never made Whoopie Pies, but they sure look fun. Especially dyed green.
Thanks for sharing on #FridayFrivolity
I call them inside out cupcakes! The icing doesn’t end up on your nose. Enjoy your week!
What a fascinating name, I’ve got to try some. That filling sounds like it’s the kind of “lick the bowl” devine
I originally made these for a super bowl game. They were extremly delicious. Thanks Michelle. Enjoy your week.
These whoopie pies look so good! Thanks for sharing this at C&C with J&J. Enjoy the week.

You are welcome Julie! Thank you for your comment and have a lovely week!
Just in time for St. Patty’s Day too 🙂
Thanks June! Have a lovely week.
I don’t know that I’ve ever had a whoopie pie before, but they sound good! Thanks for linking up with Merry Monday this week!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Emily! Have a lovely week!
You are so clever. I’ve made green milk and green colored pasta for Halloween, but never a green whoopie pie! I’m sure the kids would love it. Thanks for sharing at mybusybeehives #BEEPARTY this week!
You are welcome Julie! After you put them together roll the filling in some lucky charms and they will love it!
Once again I must confess that I’ve never had or made a whoopie pie. Last year I was determined to make them and bought a gigantic jar of marshmallow cream and ended up using it in a fruit dip. Oh well, there’s always this year! Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story, have a great weekend.
They are good. Cakelike big cookies and you candecorate them anyway you want. Dip an edge in chocolate, add sprinkles or mini chips. I bet you would make some great ones!!
These look so great! 🙂
I would love for you to share this with my Facebook Group for recipes, crafts, tips, and tricks: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pluckyrecipescraftstips/

Thanks Jess!
Whoopie! I love these pies! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner link up!
You are too clever! Enjoy your week.
These look good and would also be good for St Paddys day. 🙂
That is a good idea! Or school sport banquet, or Sunday night, or even a just because day! Any excuse to have a treat will do for me! Enjoy your week!
I’ve never tried to make whoopie pies, but these sure make me want to!
I don’t like cupcakes because theyalways end up in my noise. These are like inside out cupcakes and less mess. I loved them! Thanks Beverly for always taking the time to comment. It means so much! Enjoy your week!
They are the cross between a cookie and cake. They are verygood! Thanks for commenting!
I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever had whoopie pie?? I bet they’re tasty and I think I could eat the filling alone 😉 Thanks for sharing at Funtastic Friday, Marilyn!
