Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cups buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 cups rainbow sprinkles nonpareils preferred

Filling

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, cream together 0.5 cups butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
  • Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Stir in rainbow sprinkles gently.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto prepared baking sheets spaced about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks.
  • For the filling, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Spread or pipe the filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies and sandwich with the remaining cookies.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For best texture, allow the whoopie pies to chill for at least an hour before serving to let the filling set.
