MMMMM--------------------------COOKIES-------------------------------
      4 c  Flour
      1 c  Shortening
      2 ts Baking soda
      2    Eggs
      1 c  Baking cocoa
      1 c  Milk
      1 ds Salt
      1 c  Water; warm
      2 c  Sugar
      2 ts Vanilla extract

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      2    Egg whites
      4 tb Milk
      2 ts Vanilla extract
      4 c  Powdered sugar
      4 tb Flour
  1 1/2 c  Shortening
 
  Heat oven to 375°F. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in
  mixing bowl. Mix well and set aside. In another bowl combine sugar,
  shortening, and eggs. Beat for about 2 minutes. Mix the dry
  ingredients with the egg mixture. Add milk and warm water and beat at
  medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat
  again until the ingredients are thoroughly blended. This batter is
  for a cake-like cookie. Bake as drop cookies. Drop rounded
  tablespoons full on ungreased non-stick cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to
  12 minutes or until the center of the cookies spring back when
  lightly pressed. Remove from sheets and cool on a wire rack.
  
  Beat the egg whites until stiff and set aside. Combine the other
  ingredients and beat very hard for several minutes at high speed.
  Fold in the egg whites. To make whoopie pies, spread a generous
  amount of filling on a completely cooled cookie. Top with another
  cookie.
