Homemade Oreo Cookies

JULIE ROYLE


1 box German chocolate cake mix

1 box devil’s food cake mix

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 eggs

3/4 cup shortening

cream cheese frosting (homemade or store bought)

Preheat oven to 350°. In large bowl, or stand mixer, combine all ingredients. Mix well. With a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop into balls and place on cookie sheet. Flatten balls with a spatula to 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Bake 9 minutes. (Do not over bake.) Cool Completely. Frost half of the cookies and sandwich with the other half. Store in an airtight container.


BE CAREFUL WHEN USING A HAND MIXER. THIS DOUGH IS VERY THICK AND COULD POSSIBLY BURN OUT THE MOTOR OF YOUR MIXER. BEAT ONE PACKAGE OF CAKE MIX WITH WET INGREDIENTS AND THEN WITH A WOODEN SPOON STIR IN THE REMAINING CAKE MIX.


CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Mix in the vanilla then gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar. Store in the refrigerator after use.
