Not for someone on a diet! These pies are time consuming but they are so much better than anything you could buy at the store in the pre-packed bakery department. Prep time does not include cooling time of filling. These need to be stored in the fridge. Ingredients:
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 cup hot water |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/8 teaspoon salt (just a dash would work) |
1 cup milk |
3/4 cup shortening |
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cookie sheet.
2. In a small bowl, combine cocoa and water; mix well. Cool for five minutes. In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add cocoa mixture, eggs and vanilla; mix well. Combine dry ingredients. Add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk; mix well.
3. Drop by rounded tablespoons 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until firm to the touch. Remove to wire racks to cool.
4. In saucepan, combine flour and salt. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth; cook and stir over medium-high heat until thick, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and refrigerate until completely cool.
5. In a mixing bowl, cream shortening, sugar, and vanilla. Add chilled milk mixture; beat for 7 minutes or until fluffy. Spread filling on half of cooled cookies; top with the remaining cookies.
