- In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and a generous splash of red food coloring until everything is beautifully combined.

Notes
Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling to avoid melting the filling. For a creamier filling, add a little cream cheese to the buttercream.
