These double chocolate whoopie pies are pretty easy to make and would make a fun baking project with little kids; great for after school snacks and lunchboxes too.
- Makes about 10 whoopie pies
- 2 cups plus 2 tbsp sifted flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup sour milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Sift together dry ingredients and set aside.
Beat together shortening, butter, sugar until creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla
Add milk, cocoa and hot water. Then add the dry ingredients.
Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet and space at least 2″ apart. Small sized ice cream or cookie dough scoop works really well too. Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until centers spring back when touched. Cool completely.

1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
