• 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.
