CHOCOLATE WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• Prep oven and pans. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper (or silicone baking mats). Set aside.
• Combine dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder. Whisk in the baking soda, salt, and espresso powder (if using). Set aside.
• Cream butter and brown sugar. In a large bowl with an electric mixer (hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment), cream together the butter and brown sugar together for 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined.
• Add egg and vanilla. Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
• Alternate dry ingredients and buttermilk. Starting and ending with the dry ingredients, alternate the flour mixture in 3 additions, with the buttermilk in 2 additions. Mix in until just combined with each addition. Be careful to not overmix at this point.
• Scoop the cookies Using a 1 ½-tablespoon cooking scoop, scoop the whoopie pie batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each one. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the batter for each whoopie pie before placing them in the oven.
• Bake. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies spring back to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer the chocolate cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the frosting. In your stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer beat the butter for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar, about a ½ cup at a time, mixing on low speed, in each addition until well combined.
• Add remaining frosting ingredients. Add in the heavy cream and vanilla extract and mix on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium-high and continue mixing for about 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
• Assemble the whoopie pies. Pair up the whoopie pies according to size. Once the cookies have cooled, pipe on the vanilla frosting onto a flat side of one cookie. I pipe just enough so there's a border of cookie, to give the frosting room when I press the two cookies together. Top with a second cookie to make a "sandwich" by gently pressing the two cookie rounds together and pressing the frosting to the edge. Continue assembling the rest of the whoopie pies.
