Homemade Oreos

Yields: 12 sandwich cookies
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Bake at 350 degrees

Ingredients

Cookie:
1 box devils food cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Filling:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2-2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Mix cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil together.  The batter will be very thick so don't use a whisk.   Roll dough into balls smaller than a golf ball.  Place cookies on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.  Pat down with fingers so the balls form round disk shapes.  There will be 12 cookies per cookie sheet.  Bake for 8-10 minutes (I did full 10) then take out of the oven and leave on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes.  Then remove cookies and place on a wire rack to finish cooling.  Once cooled make the frosting.  Then frost the bottoms of the cookies and sandwich them with the remainder.  Serve chilled.
