Sift flour and mix with dry ingredients. Set aside.
Cream shortening, adding sugar gradually.
Add vanilla, then eggs and beat until fluffy.
Stir in flour mixture alternately with soured milk.
Add the cocoa paste and blend well. (hot water and cocoa)
Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheet. (I used medium sized Pampered Chef scoop)
(I used parchment paper)
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes depending on size. ( baked mine 15 min)
Filling
2 Tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
pinch salt
Mix until smooth
Heat in small pan until thick paste is formed over low heat. Chill slightly.
Cream 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup shortening.

Picture coloring is lighter than the actually are.
Enjoy, these are delicious.

ReplyDeleteYum! They look delish!
ReplyDeleteI won't be able to make them, as we no longer use shortening, but they certainly look yummy!
Thanks for sharing the recipe.

YUM! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnother "must try" recipe! Perfect for when the family gets together to play Mexican train. ( That's Sunday afternoons and for today I have made a trifle so maybe for next Sunday).
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious and I'll just bet my grandkids would love them! Maybe I'll make them for Easter since I can make now and freeze for later. Should I just freeze the cookie part or can I freeze the entire thing? Thx
ReplyDeleteYou can freeze the entire Whooopie Pie. They freeze great.
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious :)
