  • 1/3 cup 2% milk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour bleached flour toughens baked goods
  • 1 cup miniature chocolate chips

Instructions
 

COOKIES:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, and baking soda with an electric mixer until well combined.
  • Add cream and cocoa and mix again until well blended.
  • Stir in flour with a wooden spoon and continue stirring until very well combined.
  • Using a mixer at this point toughens baked goods.
  • Spray cookie sheets heavily with cooking spray.
  • Using a ¼ cup cookie scoop, level cookie dough into scoop and place on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake at 375° for about 10-12 minutes, or until pies spring back when pressed gently.
  • Rotate cookie sheets on oven racks half way through baking time.
  • Remove from oven and let cookies cool.
  • Transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely.

COOKIE DOUGH FILLING:

  • While the whoopie pies are baking, start the filling.
  • In a mixer, cream together butter, both sugars, vanilla extract and milk.
  • Add flour and chocolate chips and stir into batter with wooden spoon.
  • After cookies cool completely, fill Zip Lock bag with cookie dough.
  • Snip off one corner and pipe cookie dough onto the bottom of a cookie.
  • Use about a quarter cup of chocolate chip cookie dough filling for each cookie.
  • Place the bottom of another cookie on top of the filling and press down slightly.

Notes

NOTE: Preparation time does not include time needed to spread cookie dough filling in whoopie pies.
 
NOTE: You cannot use the new Zip Lock bags that stand up. Those won't work. You need the old-fashioned ones without an extra bottom to pipe the frosting. Otherwise, use a pastry bag to pipe the frosting.
 
NOTE: The chocolate chip cookie dough filling is enough for two batches of whoopie pies.
