CLOTHESPIN COOKIES 
3 c. flour
2 tbsp. sugar
2 c. Crisco
2 egg yolks
1 c. water

Mix all ingredients, except 1 cup of Crisco. Chill for 1 hour. Roll out on floured surface. Spread 1/3 cup of Crisco over dough, fold and return to bowl; chill another hour. Repeat twice; chill overnight. Divide dough. Roll out on floured surface. Cut in strips 1/2 inch wide. Wrap tightly around greased clothespin or dowels. Bake at 400 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Remove from clothespin; fill with filling by using triangle icing bag. Yields 100 cookies.

FILLING:

1 c. butter
2 c. powdered sugar
3/4 c. marshmallow creme
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream together butter and sugar with mixer until fluffy. Blend in marshmallow creme. Chilling prior to filling cookies makes icing easier to handle.
