OREO COOKIES

Category: Cookies

Cookie wafers
1 box dark fudge cake mix
1/3 cup water
2 tbsp shortening

Filling
3 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 tbsp sugar
1/2 vanilla extract
1/2 cup shortening
3 tbsp hot water

Preheat oven to 325. 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. Bake 4-6 minutes or until cookies are crunchy.

Combine filling ingredients and mix well. Form into balls about 1/2 - 3/4 inch in diameter, again using your hands. Sandwich one filling in the center of two cookies. Carefully press down until the filling spreads almost to the edge.
