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

It just dawned on me that I promised this recipe when I posted THIS recipe for Cinnamon Twists back in November.

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

Frost sweet rolls.
