Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 cup Confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup Marshmallow cream
• 0.5 cup Shortening

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
3. Gradually add the flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating between the two, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
4. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto a baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
5. In a separate bowl, beat together the confectioners' sugar, marshmallow cream, shortening, milk, and vanilla pudding mix until well combined and fluffy.
6. Spread the filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie, creating a sandwich.
7. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve and enjoy!
