Funfetti Whoopie Pies

 

Soft sugar cookies sandwiched together with fluffy buttercream! These have the flavor of birthday cake batter!

 

 

 I'm the kind of person who hates making decisions. I know, you're really super surprised cause I'm such a control-freak. You would think it would be hard to be controlling if you don't even know what the heck you want. But you would be wrong.


See, the secret is, bossy people just want you to think they have it all figured out, but in reality, you are just one of their decision making pawns. For example, when I say, "Go get me a drink of water, child!", it's not only because I'm lazy and make my siblings wait on me hand and foot (which may or may not be true), but it's also because I don't want to go through the trauma of deciding which cup to use.

Another example of my aversion to decision making is manifested in the making these cookies. They seem straight forward enough in the beginning.

It all starts with some of the tastiest sugar cookie dough you will ever eat, flecked with some purty, little sprinkles. Innocent enough.

While they're baking, you can make some creamy, smooth, not-too-sweet, perfectly buttery frosting if you feel like it.

Um, in what mood would you not feel like it?

 But here's where the trouble begins. Do you leave them plain, in their simple, chewy perfection?

Or is a gob of frosting more your style?


Big sprinkles?

Or little sprinkles?

Baby bite size?

 Or Yammie-bite size?

 See, this is where you come into play. You, my little pawns, must make these decisions for me. But don't worry. There are no wrong decisions. Whatever you do, these will be wonderful.

Now, there are two secrets to recreating the Funfetti cake batter flavor from scratch.

1. Cake flour. It's much finer than regular flour which makes the cookies really chewy. Also, it just tastes like cake.

2. Imitation butter flavor. Because a little extra butter never hurt anyone.

Good luck.
