• 0.5 Cup milk
• 2.5 Tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
• 0.5 Cup white sugar

Steps

1. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the sugar and softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the egg and mix well.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
3. Mix Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Form Cookies: Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto ungreased cookie sheets, ensuring an even number of cookies (about 24).
5. Bake: Preheat the oven and bake the cookies for 7 to 8 minutes, or until they spring back when touched. Let them cool completely.
6. Make the Filling: In a saucepan, whisk together milk and flour over low heat until a thick paste forms. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
7. Prepare Cream Filling: Beat sugar, shortening, vanilla, and salt in a bowl until creamy. Add the cooled paste mixture and beat until fluffy.
8. Assemble Devil Dogs: Spread the filling onto half of the cooled cookies and sandwich with the remaining cookies. Enjoy your homemade Devil Dogs!
