Homemade Oreo Cookies



1 Devils food cake mix (Duncan Hines works best)
1/2 cup shortening (I like butter flavor)
2 eggs

Mix the above ingredients together.  Roll the dough into dime-sized balls (yes, dime-sized--they flatten out) and place on a cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.   Cool cookies.

Frosting:  (this makes a lot!  I usually can make two batches of cookies and 1 batch frosting)
8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar

Mix all of the frosting ingredients until smooth.  Frost the BACKS of cookies and place together to make
sandwich cookie.

Makes about 60-70 cookies.

These are always a hit wherever I take them!  :)
