I love to make fancy red, white & blue foods for patriotic holidays like the 4th of July and Memorial Day. This patriotic Whoopie Pie recipe is a perfect dessert to bring with you to a party or just to enjoy with the family.
There's no special pan required to make this recipe, you just bake the whoopie pies like cookies on a baking pan. You can also adapt the recipe to exclude the food coloring if you don't need them to be patriotic (or use different colors for other events). The filling is made with a nice light buttercream frosting.
