whisk in milk until smooth; cook and stir over medium-high heat
until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and
refrigerate until completely cool.
In a bowl, cream the shortening, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla

fluffy, about 7 minutes. Spread filling on half the cookies; top
with remaining cookies. Store in the refrigerator.
