Ingredients
  

  • 3 packages Pepperidge Farms Frozen Puff Pastry, thawed
  • 2 pounds powdered sugar
  • 2 cups Crisco shortening
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 7 oz. jar marshmallow cream
  • food coloring (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 F.
  • Thaw the pastry and roll out on a lightly floured surface until it forms a 12"x10" rectangle.
  • Cut into ½"x6" long strips using a pizza cutter.
  • Wrap each strip around a cone-shaped cookie form (or a wooden dowel rod), moistening slightly with water and overlapping the edges slightly. Bake for 5 minutes then turn oven down to 375 and bake for 10 more minutes.
  • Carefully remove from forms and cool completely.
  • With an electric mixer on high speed, beat together sugar, Crisco, vanilla, and milk for 10 min.
  • Add marshmallow cream and beat until combined.
  • Color with food coloring, if desired.
  • Using a pastry bag, pipe filling into cooled cookies. Sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar before serving.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container. Cookies are best if refrigerated until used. May be frozen.
