#1134 - Vanilla Whooppee Pies

(by Shirley McNevich)

3 cups flour
3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup Parkay margarine
1 or 2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup milk
1 egg
Filling: 2 egg whites; 2 tsp. vanilla; 4 TBSP flour; 2 TBSP milk; 1 1/2 cups Crisco shortening; 1 lb. Domino's powdered sugar

In a mixer add margarine and white sugar--beat. Add 1 egg and vanilla--beat. Add baking powder, salt and milk--beat. Add flour--beat. Drop by teaspoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet about an inch apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool before icing. Frosting: in a mixer add egg whites--beat until stiff. Add vanilla, flour, milk--beat. Add Crisco--beat. Slowly add powdered sugar--beat until smooth and fluffy. When cookies are cool, spread icing on one cookie (bottom side) and then top with another cookie (bottom side facing icing). You can freeze them by wrapping each pie in saran wrap and placing in a container.
