Homemade Oreo Cookies

Cookie

1 box Devils Food Cake Mix

3/4 cup shortening

2 eggs

Mix well and roll into balls and bake for 8 minutes at 350. Let cool completely before trying to add frosting or else the frosting will just melt out!

Frosting

1 8oz cream cheese softened

1 stick butter softened

3-3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Food coloring (optional of course)

Mix cream cheese and butter together. Add in powdered sugar until you get desired consistency.

Match up 2 cookies that are the same size. Add some frosting in the middle. This batch I rolled cookies in sprinkles for a little extra flare.

{syd's notes} the picture shows ones I made around Halloween time. Don't overcook the cookie or they will crumble. I prefer to take them out a little undercooked and leave them on the cookie sheet to finish cooking. Let cool completely or the frosting will just melt out. I usually double the recipe and I'm always glad I did!
