1 c Milk

Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.

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.
