Assembly Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place flour, sugar, cocoa, and baking soda in mixer. Mix on low until thoroughly combined. Add eggs and shortening. Mix until a dough ball forms. If dough is too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until ball is formed.  Form dough into small balls, about 48 per recipe, and flatten on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool on pan for about 5 minutes before removing.  Allow to cool completely

To make frosting, blend margarine and sugar together.  Stir in the vanilla and milk stirring until smooth. If frosting is dry add milk one drop at a time until the frosting is the correct consistency. When the cookies are cool spread the filling between 2 cookies to make the cookie sandwiches.

Freezing Directions:

Place the cookies freezer container separating each layer with wax paper or parchment paper. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:

Thaw and enjoy!
