Homemade Oreos

I had a request for this recipe, so here it is.

Homemade Oreos

Cookie Part:
2 Devils Food Cake Mixes
4 Eggs
1 ¼ c. shortening
1 tsp. Vanilla

Mix all ingredients together. Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. (Note - I usually only cook for 8 or shorter, they are better if they are a little soft when you are done)

Filling:
1 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. cream cheese
2 lb. powdered sugar
1 ½ squares butter
about 1 Tbsp. milk, only to soften to taste

Mix & put between 2 cookies. (Note – I usually only make ½ or ¾ of this filling. It makes a lot.)

I always put these in the fridge or freeze them. If you've cooked them soft it makes them dense and then they are extra yummy.
