Amish Whoopie Pies

2 cups sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons soda
1 cup shortening
1 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup cold water
2 eggs
1 cup thick sour milk

Cream together the sugar, salt, shortening, vanilla, and eggs. Stir together the flour, soda, and cocoa, and add this to the first mixture alternately with the water and sour milk. Add slightly more flour if the milk is not thick. Drop the batter by teaspoons onto a greased cookie sheet, and bake the cookies at 400 degrees until done. Let them cool, then put them together with the following filling.

Filling:

1 egg white
2 tablespoons milk
2 cups icing sugar (as needed)
3/4 cup Crisco or margarine
1 tablespoon vanilla
Marshmallow Creme
2 tablespoons flour

Beat the egg white, before adding the remaining ingredients. Beat the mixture well. A few drops of peppermint flavoring may be used in place of the vanilla. If you are using them for themed parties, you can add a few drops of food coloring to color the filling! ie. orange for Halloween, green for X-mas, red for Valentines Day, pink for Easter and so on!
