Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a stand mixer on medium speed, mix together butter, egg, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 2

In a separate, medium-size bowl, stir flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt together until ingredients are combined.

Step 3

Alternate mixing in the milk and dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Stir the mixture until a soft batter forms and no dry ingredients are visible.

Step 4

Scoop dough onto greased baking sheets with a spoon or large cookie scoop (about 2 inches across), placing them 2 inches apart. Bake for approximately 14 minutes; cookies are done when top springs back from your touch and bottoms are slightly browned. Place cookies on a rack and let them cool to room temperature.

Step 5

For the frosting, using a whisk and bowl or stand mixer on medium speed, blend together butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla or peppermint extract until mixture is fluffy and peaks when poked with whisk.(about 3 minutes)

Step 6

If desired, mix in a few drops of food coloring.

Step 7

To assemble, generously frost the bottom of one cookie, then top with a second cookie. Try to pair cookies of the same size. Repeat until all cookies are paired with frosting in the middle.

Step 8

Roll sides of each whoopie pie in sprinkles or crushed candy cane until all visible frosting is covered.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container. If storing longer than two days, place them in the refrigerator or freezer.
