Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the 1/2 cup butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and spring back when gently touched. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, marshmallow creme, 1/2 cup butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
To assemble the Whoopie Pies, spread a generous dollop of the filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to form a sandwich.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
