type: drop
makes: 16

cookie
4-1/4 cup cake flour, sifted
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
3 eggs
2/3 cup water
1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla

fondant 
3/4 water
2 pounds powdered sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted

Preheat oven to 350F.
Grease and flour a baking sheet.
Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Cream together sugar and shortening until light and fluffy.
Stir in milk powder and corn syrup.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add dry ingredients alternating with the water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. 
Stir in vanilla. 
Scoop out 1/3 cup of batter and place it on a baking sheet.
Smooth out to 3-1/2 inch circle. Batter will spread considerably so do not bake more than four at a time.
Bake 18 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool on cake rack; frost half of cookie with chocolate fondant and half with vanilla. Work quickly while fondant is warm.
Make fondant: In a large saucepan combine water, powdered sugar, corn syrup and vanilla.
Cook over medium heat until it reaches 100 degrees on a candy thermometer.
Measure out half of this mixture and add melted chocolate to it.
