Ingredients:

Serving

2/3 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup (6 oz) miniature semisweet chocolate chips

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks, milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, salt and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the egg whites, salt, vinegar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in chocolate chips. Transfer half of the meringue to another bowl. Fold peppermint candies into one portion and spearmint candies into the remaining portion.
