*Vanilla - Pure may have corn sugar or processed with sugars, look for water extracted
                 under federal rules, pure can contain sweeteners and other fillers, the best are
                 listed as 35% alcohol extraction, but several companies have a waiver by using a longer
                 time, roughly 6 months compared to 1 month. Water extracted do not contain any insulin
                issues.  Small amount, so not important to most dieters. 

 

** Hi Ratio shortening is used by bakers and is fluffier and reduces grease taste.
Mix on high for 5- 10 minutes until smooth, DO NOT SHORT TIME THIS!!!
Refrigerate, but let warm 5 minutes before eating.
 
After outsides are cool, spoon filling between two above cookies
