Homemade Oreos

Becca made cookies...........she is a great cook! Last week was Achievement Days (lds term for activities that help girls become better people, family members, teach life skills, etc. in a fun way! Think Scouts, the mormon way for girls.) They made Homemade Oreos. Can you say "YUM!!" any faster? The first batch almost didn't make it to the next morning so she could take some to her teacher. Sunday she made another batch with the help of her cousin, Logan. We have a new staple in our house, these will be made often!
Homemade Oreos 1 pkg. Devil's Food Cake Mix 2 eggs 2/3 cup shortening Mix together. Roll into 1-inch balls. Bake at 375 on an ungreased cookie sheet 7-8 minutes. Leave on sheet for 2 minutes and them cool on rack. Put 2 cookies together with Cream Cheese frosting. Frosting: 8 oz. cream cheese 1/2 cup butter 1 tsp. vanilla 4 1/4 - 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Tips:
1. One of the batches we used one devil's cake mix and one white. Still yum!
2. I have 4 cookie sheets, so the baking can fly sooo much faster.
3. Make sure you set some aside for your husband because they will all be gone before he gets home.
Enjoy! Love, Jenn =)

These are so yum. The second time I made them they didn't even get to the frosting stage before they were gone.
