In the "spirit" of the holiday, I thought I would post a few of the fun treats that we have had at this office this week.
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
1 cup cocoa
2 egg yolks and 2 whole eggs (save the egg whites for the filling)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup sour milk or buttermilk
2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
1 cup shortening
1 cup cocoa
2 egg yolks and 2 whole eggs (save the egg whites for the filling)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup sour milk or buttermilk
2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
Cream
sugar and shortening together in a large bowl. Add eggs and mix. Sift
dry ingredients together and add to the creamed mixture alternatively
with milk. Batter will be stiff. If it is too thin, add more flour. Drop
by tablespoon onto greased sheets. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes,
until a toothpick inserted in the cookies comes out clean.
CREAM CHEESE FILLING:
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
BEAT
cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract in small mixer bowl on medium
speed until fluffy. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until light and
fluffy.SPREAD a heaping teaspoon of filling onto flat side of one
cookie; top with flat side of second cookie to make a sandwich. Roll edges in fun holiday sprinkles. Repeat
with remaining cookies and filling. Store in covered container in
refrigerator.6 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
