In a small mixing bowl, stir to uniformly combine the flour, cocoa,
soda, and salt. In a larger mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to
beat butter, shortening, and sugar until just blended; add the egg
and vanilla; beat mixture until smooth and creamy. By hand, add the
flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk; beat
just until smooth. By rounded teaspoonfuls, drop the dough about 2"
apart onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at a preheated 400 for about
10 minutes or until cookie centers are firm to the touch. Cool on
wire racks. While cookies cool, make the cream filling. Place the
softened butter or margarine in a mixing bowl; by hand, vigorously
beat in the confectioner's sugar and extract. Then beat in the
marshmallow cream until blended. When cookies are completely cooled,
generously spread half the cookies with the cream filling. Top with
the remaining cookies.
