Vee's Recipe

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.
Add to chilled paste with 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Enjoy, these are delicious.
Thanks Vee  😃

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

  2. Another "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).

  3. These 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
