Oreo Cookies

Oreo Cookies

• 1 box Devils food cake mix (or any other chocolaty kind)
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup shortening

1. Mix ingredients together.
2. Roll into long lengths like a giant tootsie roll. Slice in one inch intervals or as big as you want the cookies to be.
3. Roll into balls (or keep flat, it works too).
4. Place on non-greased cookie sheet.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes.
6. When cool, put frosting on the back of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.

Frosting

• 1/3 cup butter, slightly softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1-2 Tbs. cold milk or cream

1. Beat butter several minutes with mixer until creamy.
2. Add sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating well with each addition.
3. Add vanilla, then milk or cream and beat well again to the right consistency.

**I like to keep mine in the fridge in a sealed container to keep the frosting set and so the cookies aren't too crumbly. Just get them out of the fridge at the beginning of lunch and by the time everyone's done with their sandwich, they are perfect!
