    1/2 c  Hot water
    1/2 c  Lard or shortening
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
      2 lg Eggs; room temp
      1 ts Vanilla extract

    1/2 c  Buttermilk

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      3 tb A-P flour
        ds Salt
      1 c  Milk
    3/4 c  Shortening
  1 1/2 c  Confectioners' sugar
      2 ts Vanilla extract
 
  Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.
  
  In a bowl, combine cocoa and water. Cool for 5 minutes.
  In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light
  and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in the eggs, vanilla and
  cocoa mixture. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to
  creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating
  well after each addition.
  
  To form each cookie, drop 2 teaspoon dough 2 in. apart
  onto greased baking sheets. Bake until firm to the
  touch, 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  
  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.
