Steps:
- Make the Whoopies: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter, shortening and both sugars on low speed until just combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat until fluffy and smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and the red food coloring and beat until just blended.
- Add half of the flour mixture and half of the buttermilk to the batter and beat on low until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining flour mixture and remaining ½ cup buttermilk and beat until completely combined.
- Using a spoon (or a medium cookie scoop, which is what I used), drop a tablespoon of batter onto one of the prepared baking sheets and repeat, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time for about 10 minutes each, or until the cakes spring back when pressed gently. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cakes cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese and butter on medium speed. Add the sugar and beat on low speed until combined. Add the vanilla and increase the speed to medium-high; beat until creamy and smooth, about 4 minutes.
- Assemble the Whoopie Pies: Spread the filling onto the flat side of one cake using a knife of spoon. Alternatively, you can use a pastry bag with a round tip (I used a #12 Wilton tip) to pipe the filling onto the cake. Top it with another cake, flat-side down. Repeat with the rest of the cakes and filling. Assembled whoopie pies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you need to stack layers, place a piece of wax paper between layers.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Take the buttermilk out of the refrigerator about 2 hours before preparing the batter. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- In a standing mixer, cream the butter and the sugar with the paddle attachment. Add the egg and once it is incorporated with the butter add the buttermilk. The mixture will look curdled. Add the vanilla, vinegar and food coloring.
- In a medium bowl combine all of the dry ingredients together. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and combine completely, scraping down the sides of the bowl to get everything well mixed. Put the batter in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Use a spoon or a small ice cream scoop and scoop the batter onto the cooking sheet, leaving at least a 3-inch space between scoops. Bake until the cookies are springy and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling.
- Filling:
- Put the cream cheese and butter into the bowl of a standing mixer and using the paddle attachment, beat on medium speed until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and lemon juice and beat to combine.
- Lower the speed to slow and carefully add the sugar, 1 cup at a time. When all of the sugar has been added, switch to the whisk attachment and beat until fluffy.
- Using a butter knife, spread the desired amount of frosting between 2 cookies. Arrange the completed pies on a serving dish and repeat with remaining cookies and frosting.

Steps:
- For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed and alternately beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, and the buttermilk, starting with an egg. Slowly beat in the dry mixture until just combined. Mix in the vanilla extract and red food coloring.
- Using a 1-inch ice cream scoop, distribute the dough in dollops on the baking sheets leaving 2 inches between each cookie; you will use half the dough for the first batch. Bake until puffed and cakey, about 12 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough. (The cookies may be made 2 days ahead and stored at room temperature before serving.)
- For the filling: Put the cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium until soft. Add butter gradually until combined. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar, turn the mixer to high, and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract. (The filling may be made 2 days ahead and chilled; b ring to room temperature before using.)
- To assemble: Put the filling in a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Turn half of the cookies upside down and pipe about 3 tablespoons on top. Make sandwiches by topping with the rest of the cookies. The cookies should be served the same day they are filled.

- Allow the whoopie pies to cool completely before filling them.

- Decorate the whoopie pies with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or other desired toppings.
