Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
• Extra sprinkles for garnish

How to Make Funfetti Whoopie Pies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
6. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling by beating together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
9. Once the cookies have cooled, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
10. For an extra touch, roll the edges of the filled whoopie pies in additional sprinkles.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easy mixing.
• Don’t overmix the batter once you add the flour to keep your cookies tender.
• Allow the whoopie pies to cool completely before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.

Easy Variations

• Substitute different flavored extracts, such as almond or lemon, for a unique taste.
• Use chocolate chips instead of sprinkles for a chocolate version.
• Add a bit of cocoa powder to the batter for a chocolate whoopie pie base.

What to Serve With It

• A glass of cold milk for a classic pairing.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
• Fresh fruit such as strawberries or raspberries to balance the sweetness.
