Oreo Cookies

Depending on your definition of homemade, these might not fit the bill...they come from a boxed cake mix. I have not had much luck yet finding a made-from-scratch recipe that taste the way I like these… as soon as I find one, I will re-post. Until then, enjoy this quick, easy and delicious version.

• 1 Pkg Chocolate Cake Mix (I used Devils Food today.)
• 2 Eggs
• 3/4 C Shortening

Mix ingredients with mixer (it will be stiff). Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 8 – 10 minutes. Cool and ice with vanilla or white icing, sandwiching two cookies together.

Favorite Cinnamon Roll Frosting

• 1/4 C butter – softened
• 1-1/2 C powdered sugar
• 1/2 t vanilla
• 1-1/2 tsp milk
• 3 Tbsp maple syrup

Frost sweet rolls.
