Homemade Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

By Moxey2009

"We like to call them homemade 'oreos or soft 'oreos.'"

Ingredients

• 2 (18.25 ounce) packages devil's food cake mix
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup shortening

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Blend the above ingredients together with a pastry blender until mixed.

Roll in balls about the size of a quarter and place on ungreased baking sheets. Make an even number of balls.

Bake for 10 minutes. Let cookies stand on cookie sheet for 5-6 minutes before removing them to cooling rack. After cookies have cooled, put Cream Cheese Frosting (see recipe or use one can of pre-made frosting) between two cookies, putting bottom sides together.

NOTE: Adding chopped pecans to the cookies without making them into sandwiches is also very good. Spice cake mix can be used in place of Devil's food.
