Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and spring back when lightly touched. Allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the marshmallow fluff and continue to beat until well combined.
-
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous dollop of the filling on the flat side of one cookie and then sandwich it with another cookie.
-
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling until all whoopie pies are assembled.
