Cookies:

1 c. shortening

2 c. sugar

1 c. hot water with 2 tsp. baking soda

4 1/2 c. flour

4 eggs

3/4 c. cocoa

1 c. sour milk

2 tsp. vanilla

1 or 2 shakes of salt

Filling:

1 c. milk

1 c. shortening

4 Tbsp. flour

1 tsp. vanilla

1 c. 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.
