For the Chocolate Cake Cookies

Preheat oven to 450°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper, then set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then set bowl aside.

Using a stand mixer (or a hand mixer + large bowl), beat the sugar and vegetable shortening together on medium speed until blended, about 2 minutes.

Keeping speed on medium, add egg, milk, and vanilla extract to bowl. Beat until combined.

Keeping speed on medium, slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Continue to mix until dry ingredients are fully incorporated, about 3-5 minutes.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop up about 1 tablespoon of dough, then release dough on prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step until all the cookie dough batter is used, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.

Bake cookies for 6-7 minutes or until the tops of cookies look dry.

Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

For the Cookie Dough Filling

While cookies cool, prepare cookie dough filling. Using a stand mixer (or a hand mixer + medium bowl), blend together butter and cream cheese on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Reduce mixer speed to low and add in brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Using a spatula or spoon, fold in chocolate chips until chips are evenly dispersed.

Putting it all Together

Add 2-3 tablespoons of cookie dough filling to the flat side of a chocolate cake cookie. Tip: using the back of a spoon, smooth the cookie dough so that it is 1/2 inch away from the edge of the cookie and so it stands about 1 inch high. The cookie dough should look like a plateau on top of the cookie.

Place another cookie, flat side down, on top of the cookie dough, and gently press until the cookie dough reaches the edges of the cookies. If desired, hold the whoopie cookies sideways and sprinkle more mini chocolate chips on the cookie dough.

Serve cookie dough whoopie pies immediately.
