If I had to deem a cookie as being my husband's favorite, I'm almost positive it would be this one. I happen to be more than ok with this because they are really easy to make, and because they involve a hefty amount of cream cheese frosting. I could eat that stuff by the spoonful.
The Best Homemade Oreos
Cookies:
1 package Devil's Food Cake Mix
1/2 c. shortening
2 eggs
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Roll dough into small balls. (I roll mine out to slightly smaller than a golf ball.) Place balls on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Let cookies sit on cookie sheet until set and then remove to cooling rack to finish cooling completely. Spoon cream cheese frosting between two cookies and sandwich together.
Frosting:
1/2 c. butter, softened
1, 8 oz. package of cream cheese, softened
3 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
*Makes about 12 oreos, give or take a few depending on desired size.
