Recipe Introduction


This cookie was the 2008 "Robin's Cookie Exchange" WINNER!
Cookie:
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 3/4 c. sugar
1 c. cocoa
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. oil
1/4 c. water
1/2 tsp almond extract

-Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. Stir in eggs, oil, water, and extract; mixing until well combined. Roll into balls and flatten with the bottom of a drinking glass dipped in sugar. Place on cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely. Meanwhile, make filling.

Cream Filling:
1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. shortening
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. almond extract
1/3 c. milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. water
1 c. powdered sugar

-Combine all ingredients except powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer for 7 minutes. Add powdered sugar and beat an additional 5 minutes. Sandwich the desired amount of filling between two cookies, or use to "frost" the tops of each cookie. Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate.
