Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup stemmed and halved strawberries
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • cup canola oil
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 large eggs

For the Frosting:

  • 1 ½ cups stemmed and halved strawberries
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

To Make The Cookies:

  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Put strawberries in a food processor and pulse until chopped into little pieces (about 5 pulses). Set aside.
  • In large bowl mix together brown sugar and oil, until there are no longer any lumps of sugar.
  • Whisk in the strawberries until combined then whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Fold in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Don’t over mix.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, drop a little more than 1 tablespoon of batter onto parchment paper lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until a toothpick comes out of the middle clean. Cool completely.

To Make The Frosting:

  • Puree the strawberries in food processor until smooth. Set aside.
  • In large bowl, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add the pureed strawberries and beat until smooth.
  • To assemble the cookies, put frosting in pastry bag or large plastic baggie and snip the corner off. Pipe generous amount of frosting onto bottom of one cookie, then top with an unfrosted cookie to form the whoopie pies. Enjoy!
