Recipe Introduction


You will need the old-fashioned one-piece wooden clothespins to make this recipe.




List of Ingredients





Cookies
1 pound shortening, divided
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups water

Filling
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 pound butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons Marshmallow Cr�me
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Recipe




Beat together egg yolks and water. Cut 1/4 cup shortening into flour and sugar and add the egg yolks and water and mix as for pastry. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Roll dough out and spread with 1/4 of the shortening. Do this three times.

When it is time to roll out and bake, work with 1/4 of the dough at a time. Cut into about 8-inch strips and wind loosely around clothes pins and bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes and then at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes. Let cool only about 2 minutes and work gently off pin as cookies are crisp and easy to break.

Filling: Cook until thick the milk and flour. Let cool. Cream together butter, confectioners' sugar, Marshmallow Cr�me and vanilla extract. Add milk mixture to creamed mixture. This recipe will fill over 100 cookies. The filling can be tinted any color you desire. Use a pastry tube to fill cookies.
