Description

This is a deliciously soft and chewy version of everyone’s favorite chocolate sandwich cookie. Get out the cold milk!

Ingredients

2 (18 1/4 ounce) packages devil's food cake mix
4 eggs
1 cup shortening

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2 Blend the above ingredients together with a pastry blender until mixed.
3 Roll in balls about the size of a quarter and place on ungreased baking sheets. Make an even number of balls.
4 Bake for 10 minutes. Let cookies stand on cookie sheet for 5-6 minutes before removing them to cooling rack. After cookies have cooled, put Cream Cheese Frosting (see recipe or use one can of pre-made frosting) between two cookies, putting bottom sides together.
5 NOTE: Adding chopped pecans to the cookies without making them into sandwiches is also very good. Spice cake mix can be used in place of Devil’s food.
