Americas Favorite Cookie!

My favorite cookies are oreos! I love them and could probably eat a whole package by myself! A couple months back, one of our neighbors made some homemade oreos and brought a few over to our home to welcome us to the neighborhood! The cookies were so yummy! Mark and I ate them all! In our defense, Kaleb doesn't get too excited about homemade cookies, so we couldn't let them go to waste! The past few weeks I have been craving some and got on the Internet today to find a recipe to make. I found one recipe that was really easy to make and the cookies were very similar to the ones that our sweet neighbor made for us. I just could resist sharing this recipe with all of you!

QUICK AND EASY HOMEMADE OREO COOKIES
1 package devils food cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil or 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening ( I don't know which one is better for you but I went all out and used the butter flavored shortening!!)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough into balls (a little larger than a quarter). Place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on sheet (until warm). Remove cookies from sheet and place on cooling rack. To assemble the cookies, add a tablespoon of filling into the center of one cookie. Place another cookie similar in size on top of filling. Lighting press to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie. Continue this process until all the cookies have been sandwiched with cream.

OREO COOKIE FILLING
1 stick butter
1 block of cream cheese (8 ounces)
3-4 cups of confectioner's sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
** The filling recipe makes a lot so I ended up doing two batches of cookies and we still had
frosting left. I froze the remaining frosting to use at another time. Maybe for grahm crackers!

Hope your family enjoys these as much as our family did!
