  6. While the cookies are cooling, make the filling: Beat 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, egg white, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in shortening and remaining 1 cup confectioners’ sugar until light and creamy.

  7. Spread filling onto 1/2 of the cooled cookies, then sandwich with remaining cookies.
