Red Velvet 4th of July Pies

I was looking for a 4th of July treat and I found this recipe by Pillsbury. I think I will make them 1/2 as big, using 1/8 c. batter and cooking for 8 to 10 minutes.

Red Velvet 4th of July Pies
Cookies
1 box Devil’s Food cake mix
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 tablespoons red food color
1 box (4-serving size) chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix
Filling
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups marshmallow creme
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
Heat oven to 350° and spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.
In large bowl, beat cookie ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until moistened; beat 1 minute longer on high speed. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set (do not overbake). Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
In large bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. For each cookie pie, spread about 1/4 cup filling on bottom of 1 cooled cookie. Top with blueberries, raspberries and second cookie, bottom side down.
