Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make the cakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder, if using.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and peppermint extract and beat until smooth and lightened in color, about 1 minute.
- Add about a third of the dry ingredients and mix on medium-low speed until combined, then add half of the milk and mix until incorporated. Continue alternating additions of the dry ingredients and milk, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Use a 1½-ounce ice cream scoop to portion out the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cakes for 12-14 minutes, until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Make the marshmallow filling: Add the butter and marshmallow creme to a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until fully combined, 2-3 minutes. Sift in the powdered sugar and salt, then beat for another 2-3 minutes, until combined. The mixture should be stiff; if not, add a few more tablespoons of powdered sugar. Transfer the filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Place the piping bag in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before assembling the whoopie pies.
- When ready to assemble, cut a 1-inch (2.5 cm)-wide opening from the corner of the piping bag.
- Pipe a thick spiral of the filling (¼-⅓ cup) onto the flat sides of half of the cakes, leaving a ¼-inch (½ cm) border around the edge. Place the remaining cakes on top of the filling, domed sides up, and press down lightly to adhere.
- Add the crushed peppermint candies to a bowl. Roll the sides of each whoopie pie into the peppermint candies to coat. (For a more polished look, use a spoon to tilt the crushed peppermints onto the exposed filling).
- Refrigerate the whoopie pies until ready to serve, then remove from the refrigerator at least 10 minutes prior to serving.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients. Use high-quality chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and flour for the best results.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking chocolate cookies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This helps the filling set properly.
- Be creative with your fillings. You can use any type of filling you like, such as buttercream, ganache, or jam.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
