  • Drop in your eggs and mix again until well mixed. Then pour in vanilla and mix.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients a little bit at a time and mix again with the hand mixer until everything is well mixed. Now is when you can add the food coloring, add more yellow then red and only a few drops if so.
  • Using an ice cream scooper and a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons worth of the mixture and place on a tray lined with parchment paper. (Use the spoon to help slide the mixture off the scooper)
  • Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Allow a couple minutes to cool down.
  • While waiting began making the cream.
  • In a large bowl mix butter, shortening, powdered sugar and marshmallow fluff with a hand mixer using medium to low speed. Until fluffy and pale.
  • Grab a snack size zip lock bag, stuff with cream and zip up, cut the tip of the bottom corner of the bag and grab a cookie and turn it upside down, begin piping the cream, making a circle and filling in the middle, topping with another cookie making a sandwich.
  • Serve and enjoy!!

Notes

  • Don't have bags? You can spoon the filling between the cookies.
  • Make sure you let the butter for the cookies and the filling come to room temperature so it mixes easily.
  • Let the cookies cool before you add the filling so the filling doesn't melt all over the place.
