STURDY WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING
This is a YUMMY whipped cream frosting that is very stable and does not melt at room temperature unlike many standard whipped cream frostings. It also makes a GREAT dip for fresh fruit -- not too sweet, just right! This recipe is GREAT for a stand mixer but will work with any good mixer.

Steps:
- Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Room temperature egg whites will have more volume when beaten than cold egg whites. In medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed just until stiff peaks form.
- In 1-quart saucepan, stir sugar, corn syrup and water until well mixed. Cover and heat to rolling boil over medium heat. Uncover and boil 4 to 8 minutes, without stirring, to 242°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed (see Testing Candy Temperature, page 00). For an accurate temperature reading, tilt the saucepan slightly so mixture is deep enough for thermometer.
- Pour hot syrup very slowly in thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed about 10 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
- Frost 13x9-inch cake, or fill and frost 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake. Leftover frosting can be tightly covered and refrigerated up to 2 days; do not freeze. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to soften; do not stir.

WHITE MOUNTAIN FROSTING RECIPE
This Recipe for White Mountain Frosting makes 6 cups of Frosting. That's kind of a lot. For a single batch of the Chewy Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with Marshmallow Filling you only need about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of Frosting/Filling... of course... if you want to add more..... So.... what to do with the rest? You can sit in a corner with a bowl and a spoon (might give you the mother of all tummy aches though....) Or You can bake Chocolate Dipped Cupcakes Or You can stick it in an airtight container... and find something else to use it for in the next week. I suppose you can also halve the recipe......
