Recipe



Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Sift together flour, cocoa, soda and salt. In mixer bowl, beat butter, shortening and brown sugar on low until just combined. Increase speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat 2 more minutes.

Add half of flour mixture and half of milk to the batter; beat briefly on low. Beat in remaining flour mixture and milk.

Using a spoon, drop batter 1 Tbsp at a time onto the baking sheets, spacing at least 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time for about 10 minutes, or until pies spring back when pressed gently. Remove from oven; let cool for 5 minutes, transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

To make filling: Beat fluff and shortening for 3 minutes on medium. Reduce speed to low, add sugar and vanilla. Beat until incorporated. Increase speed to medium; beat until fluffy.

Sandwich filling between the flat sides of two pies; repeat.
