Whoopie Pies
Cookies:
1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
1 cup hot water with 2 tsp baking soda
4 1/2 cups flour
4 eggs
3/4 cup cocoa
1 cup sour milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 or 2 shakes of salt
Filling:
1 cup milk
1 cup shortening
4 Tbls flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
Mix cookie ingredients together. Batter is slightly thick so it can be dropped
from a teaspoon. Drop onto cookie sheets into small rounds, trying to keep them
roughly the same size. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes on an ungreased
cookie sheet. For the filling: cook together the milk and flour until thick.
Place in a small bowl and add sugar, shortening and vanilla. Beat until
spread-able. Choose two cookies about the same size, spread some filling on one
and place the other one on top, bottoms together.
