the best kind of hearts involve cream cheese frosting

i made a few little goodies this past valentines day. i brought some to school and gave them away, and saved some for myself of course. they were red velvet cookies with cream cheese frosting squished in the middle. also known as red velvet whoopie pies. this recipe really made me realize that i am in need of an electric hand mixer. the dough was soooo thick that my lack of arm muscles were not enough to mix it too well, and they were in extreme pain because of this.

overall, these cute little heart goodies were pretty good, i just cant decide how i feel about red velvet in a cookie form. if it was chocolate instead, i think i would have definitely loved them. i also should have put way more frosting in the center, afterall, that is my favorite part!

love.
