Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
Cream wet ingredients: In another bowl, cream together vegetable shortening, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
-
Add milk and cocoa: Slowly add 1/2 cup of milk to the batter and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix cocoa powder and hot water until smooth, then incorporate it into the batter.
-
Drop batter: Using heaping teaspoons, drop the batter onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly firm to the touch.
-
Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a baking rack.
-
Prepare filling: In a saucepan, heat flour and milk, whisking constantly until thickened. Let the mixture cool completely.
-
Beat filling: Once cooled, beat in sugar, vegetable shortening, and salt until smooth and creamy. Then, stir in vanilla extract and marshmallow creme until well combined.
-
Assemble Whoopie Pies: Take two cooled cookies and spread a generous amount of filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
