Chocolate Sandwich Cookies



A couple of days ago we went to a party, and I made these delicious cookies. I tasted them at a ward party some months ago, and asked Tracy for the recipe. Now I am hooked on them, and make them to take to every function. I am hoping she won't hate me for this, since she likes to make them and bring them. This is why some people won't give out their recipes, because of people like me. (Luckily she wasn't at this party.)

Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

(cookies)
Two 18 ½ ounce packages devil’s food cake mix
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2/3 cup vegetable oil

(Filling)
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
½ cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
3 cups confectioners sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In large mixing bowl, combine the cake mixes, eggs, and oil. Beat. The batter will be very stiff.
Make dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on the cookie sheets and flatten slightly.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. (Take them out when they are slightly underdone, and when they cool they will be chewy.) Remove immediately from cookie sheets and cool on wire racks.

Filling: In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, pwdr sugar and vanilla and mix with an electric mixer until smooth. When the cookies are cool, spread the icing on a cookie and stick another cookie on top (like a sandwich.) Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container or Ziploc.
