CHOCOLATE WHOOPIE DONNA'S WAY

Steps:

• Mix all cookie dough ingredients.
• Scoop onto cookie sheet using a 2-tablespoon scoop.
• Bake at 375º for 9-11 minutes (depending on your oven).
• Let cookies cool on racks till completely cooled.
• Mix up the frosting.
• Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of frosting onto bottom of a cookie.
• Top with bottom side of another cookie to make a sandwich. Repeat until all cookies are used.
• These are really rich. To make smaller treats, use a smaller scoop. Just make sure to use a scoop. This ensures the cookies bake to the same size to make nice lil sandwiches. :)
• NOTE: For smaller cookie sandwiches, about the size of an Oreo, use a 1 tablespoon scoop & cook for 7-8 minutes.
