Summer Strawberry Whoopie Pies

flour

strawberry jam

eggs

butter

freeze dried strawberries

leavened

sugar

powdered sugar

milk

Cream together the wet ingredients, then sift the dry ingredients together.

Add the strawberry powder and dry ingredients to the vanilla cake batter.

Use a cookie scoop to make perfectly flush scoops of batter and place them onto a prepared cookie sheet.

Dab your finger in water and pat down all parts of the cake batter so they bake without lumps.

Mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar and strawberry powder until smooth.

Add heavy cream and whip until the frosting becomes light and fluffy.

Transfer the strawberry frosting to a piping bag or zip top bag, then pipe a circle around the edges (leaving a bit of room for it to expand when sandwiched). Fill the middles with strawberry jam.

Sandwich the whoopie pies together carefully (don't press the icing out of the sides), then wrap each one individually in plastic wrap for at least 3 hours.
