A well known little pie that doesn't look anything like one; made of two soft chocolate cookies sandwiched with sweet creamy filling has been another favourite that my 10 yr old loves to bake.The recipe is not only super-easy to follow for my bake addict kid & is just as satisfying for this chocolate lover but my best reason; I don't have to bake a real cake & worry about what to do with about half the cake that sits in the refrigerator as a leftover. It is just the right size for a lumch dessert + freezes easy. You know how just how much I love a twofer idea!
2 cups All purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1stick (8 Tbs) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Whisk together flour, baking soda & salt in a bowl until combined.
In a separate bowl, stir together buttermilk & vanilla.
With a mixer, beat together butter & sugar at medium speed untill mixture is plale & fluffy ( about 3 mins).
Add egg, beat till combined. Reduce speed to low & alternately mix in flour mixture and buttermilk in batches, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Mix until smooth.
Preheat oven to 350F. Line the sheet pan with parchment paper & spray with cooking spray.
Spoon 1 tbs mounds of batter. bake until tops are puffed & cookies spring back when touched, 8-10 mins. Mine took 14 mins as the batter was slightly more than a tablespoon. Yeah, I don't spend time to measure each scoop. :0
Transfer to a rack & cool completely.
Marshmallow filling:
1 stick ( 8tbs) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 cup marsmallow cream ( fluff)
1 tsp vanilla extract
In a bowl, beat together butter, powdered sugar, marshmallow cream & vanilla to fluff it up.
Assemble the pies by spreading a teaspoon of filling on one flat side of half of the cookies & top with the other flat side. Repeat with the remaining.
