For an extra layer of flavor, try using a flavored milk, such as almond or coconut milk. Ensure the pudding is completely chilled before adding it to the shortening mixture to prevent the filling from becoming too soft. If you don't have a pastry bag, a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off will work in a pinch. The extended creaming time is essential for achieving a light and airy filling. Don't rush this step!

Prepare the Pudding Base: In a small saucepan, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk according to the package directions. (5 minutes)

Chill Thoroughly: Remove from heat, cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and chill completely in the refrigerator. (1-2 hours)

Step

Cream the Shortening and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the shortening and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 30 minutes. This crucial step ensures a smooth, airy texture.

Combine and Whip: Gradually add the chilled pudding to the creamed shortening mixture. Continue to whip on medium speed until the sugar is completely dissolved and the filling is silky smooth. Test by rubbing a small amount between your fingers; you shouldn't feel any sugar granules. (5-10 minutes)

Fill and Freeze (Optional): Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Fill the lady locks generously. You can freeze the filled cookies for later enjoyment.
