November Cookie Sunday

Melinda K made these oreo-like cookies for November's Cookie Sunday.

Cookie mix:

1 box cake mix (I used the triple fudge)
1 cube butter (1/2 C)
2 eggs

filling:

1/2 bag powdered sugar (1 lb)
1 pkg cream cheese (8 oz)
1 t vanilla
3/4 C shortening

Mix together cookie ingredients. Roll into small balls and cook at 350 degrees until the dough starts to crack, about 5-7 minutes.

The recipe makes about 2.5 dozen but the frosting is enough for five dozen so don't make the whole amount unless you are doubling the cookie dough.

Also, I don't usually use shorting in my baking but I like theses cookies so much that I think it's worth the fat. You could probably experiment with butter if you would like.
