Ingredients

For the Cookies

  • 1.5 cups Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Softened Butter

For the Filling

  • 1/2 cup Softened Butter
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Peppermint Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the gluten free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well. Alternately mix in the dry ingredients and buttermilk until a smooth, thick batter forms.

  • Spread a generous amount of the mint filling onto the flat side of one chocolate cake, then top with a second cake to form a whoopie pie.
