Oreo Cookies

Ingredients:

Cookie Wafers

• 1 (18.25 oz) box Dark Fudge Cake Mix
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 tablespoons shortening

Creme Filling:

• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup shortening (no substitution)
• 3 tablespoons hot water
  

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325F.
2. Blend all ingredients; then knead with your hands until it is pliable like dough. Form dough into 3/4 inch balls and press flat, 1/2 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bottom of a glass works nice for this.
3. Bake 4 to 6 minutes or until cookies are crunchy.
4. (You could probably refrigerate the dough in cylinder shaped rolls for a couple of hours and slice 1/8 inch thick, as well.) Let cookies cool on sheets.
5. Combine filling ingredients and mix well. Form into balls about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter, again using your hands.
6. Sandwich one filling in the center of two cookies and carefully press down until the filling spreads almost to the edge.
