Moon Pies

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
2
For the cookie crusts: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter or margarine and white sugar.
3
Add egg, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Mix well.
4
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Add flour mixture slowly to sugar mixture while stirring. Mix just until all ingredients are combined.
5
Drop the dough onto greased cookie sheet by rounded tablespoonfuls. Leave at least 3 inches in between each one; dough will spread as it bakes.
6
Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until firm when pressed with finger. Allow to cool at least one hour before filling.
7
For the marshmallow filling: In a medium mixing bowl, blend together 1/2 cup butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, flavored extract, and marshmallow creme. Mix until smooth.
8
Assemble pies by spreading 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls of filling on flat side of a cookie crust, then covering filling with flat side of another cookie crust.
