   1/2 c  Lard or shortening
 1 1/2 c  Sugar
     2 lg Eggs; room temp

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
     3 tb A-P flour
       ds Salt
     1 c  Milk
   3/4 c  Shortening
 1 1/2 c  Confectioners' sugar
     2 ts Vanilla extract

 Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.

 In a bowl, combine cocoa and water. Cool for 5 minutes.
 In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light
 and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in the eggs, vanilla and
 cocoa mixture. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to
 creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating
 well after each addition.

 To form each cookie, drop 2 teaspoon dough 2 in. apart
 onto greased baking sheets. Bake until firm to the
 touch, 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

 For filling, in a small saucepan, combine flour and
 salt. Gradually 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 until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add
 milk mixture; beat until fluffy, about 7 minutes. Spread
 filling on half the cookies; top with remaining cookies.
 Store in the refrigerator.
