- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly firm to the touch.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the filling by mixing the marshmallow cream with the remaining shortening, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- If needed, add a small amount of water to the filling mixture to achieve a smoother consistency for spreading.
- Once the cookies are baked and cooled, spread a generous amount of the marshmallow filling onto the bottom side of one cookie.
