Directions:Cream shortening & sugar in a large bowl by hand. Add eggs & vanilla. Mix well (can use KitchenAid). Stir salt and baking soda in, and sift cocoa into mixture. Add flour. Add sour milk & mix well. Shape into 1" balls & place on greased cookie sheet (or parchment paper). Bake @ 350° for 10 minutes. Cool completely on racks; then spread filling between two cookies to form a sandwich.

Filling #1 (Grammy’s recipe):
• 1½ T. flour
• 1 T. cornstarch
• ½ c. milk
In saucepan, cook above to thick paste (use a small whisk & stir constantly so that it doesn’t burn on the bottom), & then cool until very thick. Then add:
• ½ c. shortening (Crisco)
• ½ c. sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
Beat with electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Filling #2 (my “Fluff” recipe):
• ½ c. butter (1 stick)
• 1 c. powdered sugar
• 1 c. Marshmallow Fluff (about half of a 7 ½ oz. jar)
• 1 tsp. vanilla
In medium bowl w/mixer @ medium speed, beat butter & remaining ingredients until light & fluffy. |

Notes: Grammy’s whoopie pies are probably my favorite comfort food. The only thing I changed along the way was a shift to a marshmallow crème filling instead of the cooked filling, but both are yummy. As you know, I even made a gluten-free version for your wedding.
