How to Make Two Brother's Chocolate Gobs
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and 1 cup vegetable shortening until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the 2 large eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup boiling water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the 2 ½ cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. The batter will be thin.
- Drop by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until edges are set. Do not overbake.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the filling: In a small saucepan, whisk together ¼ cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of pudding.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, cream together ½ cup powdered sugar, ½ cup softened unsalted butter, ¼ cup vegetable shortening, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the cooled flour mixture to the creamed mixture, beating until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread a generous amount of filling onto the bottom of one cookie. Top with another cookie to make a sandwich.
- Wrap individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set before serving.
