Ingredients 

Funfetti Cookies

  • 2 ¼ cups (281 g) cake flour
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (0.5 tsp) salt
  • ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 (1) large egg room temperature
  • 1 ½ tsp (1 tsp) vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp (0.5 tsp) almond extract
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk room temperature
  • ¼ cup (40 g) rainbow sprinkles plus more for sprinkling on top of the cookies before baking, if desired

Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting

  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 cups (254 g) marshmallow fluff
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp (0.5 tsp) salt
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ (177℃). Line baking sheet pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar until it is light, pale, and creamy. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract and mix until smooth.
  • Add in half of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until mostly combined. Pour in the milk and mix until smooth. Add in the remaining flour mixture and mix on low speed until a soft cookie dough forms. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
  • Portion the cookie batter using a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons). Place the cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet pans, allowing room for spreading. If desired, sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles onto the cookies before baking.
  • Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes until the cookies are puffed up and set, but not brown on the edges. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter for 5 minutes until light, pale, and creamy.
  • Add the marshmallow fluff and mix on low speed until it is fully combined with the butter. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. Drizzle in the heavy cream.
  • Turn the mixer to medium speed and whip the buttercream for about 2 to 3 minutes until it is smooth and creamy.

Assembling the Funfetti Whoopie Pies

  • Fill a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M piping tip with the marshmallow buttercream frosting. Pipe a generous swirl of frosting on the bottom of one of the cookies. Add another cookie on top of the frosting, creating a sandwich.

Notes

  • Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days.
