Santa Whoopie Pies
Yields 12 cookie pies
INGREDIENTS

- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

METHOD
- Prepare the brownies according to the box mix instructions. Grease a baking sheet and spread the batter on the sheet. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Cool completely.
- Prepare the filling by whipping together all the ingredients.
- Remove the tops of the strawberries.
- Cut the brownies out into small circles. Spread a dollop of filling on one side of the brownie, then sandwich them together. Add a little more filling to the brownie stack, and stick a strawberry on for a Santa hat. Finish with a little more whipped cream on the tip of the strawberry and enjoy.
