You will also need:

Raspberry Jam

Sweetened Coconut

First preheat your oven to 375

In a bowl sift together Flour, salt and baking powder; put off to side. 

In an electric mixing bowl mix together Brown sugar, sugar, butter and shortening.  Mix until smooth. 

Add two eggs and mix until thoroughly blended with sugar and butter mixture. 

In a measuring cup add milk and mix baking soda in it. 

 Add about half of the flour mixture to your sugar mix and blend slowly..

Add the rest as well as the butter milk, vanilla, and milk blend. Mix on slow and slowly increase as the mixture begins to blend. 

 Next, drop 1 tbsp sized balls onto your cookie sheet and cook for approximately 8 minutes, this time varies depending on your oven so watch your whoopies so they do not burn.

Once they are done, let them cool on your sheet for a few minutes then transfer them to a cooling rack. 

While your whoopies are cooking and cooling start your frosting.

In a mixing bowl add the butter, cocoa power, and instant coffee. 

 Mix them those ingredients together until creamy.

 Next add 1 C of the powered sugar.. Mix slower, then add another cup as well as your milk and vanilla extract.. Finally add the last C of powdered sugar and mix on medium for several minutes until light and smooth.

When your cookies are cool you can begin to assemble them. On one cookie add a thin layer of the raspberry jam (not too much or it taste like a jelly sandwich) then take as much coconut as you'd like and put on top of the jelly. On on another whoopie put a good helpful of your mocha frosting- finally take the mocha covered whoopie and place on top of your jelly/coconut whoopie.

 There you have a completed Mocha Raspberry Coconut Whoopie.

Enjoy!!
