Homemade Oreos

All I have to say is YUM!  I am not a huge chocolate fan but I managed to scarf one down. (...okay maybe two!)  I found this one on The Sister's Cafe and it is definitely a fun, quick, easy and kid friendly recipe.  Oh yeah, and they super cute too!

For the Cookies:
1 Package Devil's Food Cake Mix
2 Eggs
1/2 C Oil

Cream Cheese Filling Recipe:
1/2 C Butter, softened
1 - (8 oz) Block of Cream Cheese
3-4 C Powdered Sugar (depending on desired consistency)
1 Tsp Vanilla

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add oil and eggs to cake mix and blend together. Roll dough into balls (a little larger than a quarter). Place on cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes or so. Remove from oven and let cool on sheet (until warm). Remove cookies from sheet and place on cooling rack.

To make the filling, cream butter and cream cheese and mix well, a good 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla. Add powdered sugar slowly until you reach your desired consistency.

To assemble the cookies, add about a tablespoon of filling into the center of one cookie. Place another cookie similar in size on top of the filling. Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie. Continue this process until all the cookies have been sandwiched with cream.
