Cookies:
1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix - any brand works I've tried a bunch of them
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
Mix everything together. Roll dough into small balls- about 1 inch. Put balls onto a cookie sheet. I line my cookie sheet with a Silpat mat - I love those! Cook them at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Let them cool on the cookie sheet.
Filling:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened -OR- 1/4 margarine spread - I use either - they both work
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon vanilla - I think clear would work better, but I use regular too - but not very much or it makes the filling look brownish.
Mix the cream cheese and butter/margarine together. add vanilla. Add enough powdered sugar to make the frosting a consistency that you like. It might take more or less than 2 cups - that's my best guess.
Put a spoonful of frosting on to the bottom of a cookie and cover with second cookie- gently press together. Not too much or all the frosting squishes out.
I refrigerate the cookies because of the cream cheese frosting. But they seem fine when they are left out- I've done that too. They never stick around long enough to go bad anyway!
I don't have any pictures - but if you want to see some beautiful ones look at this website. Her recipe is about the same as mine- I think everyone's is. But she has some other interesting recipes too:
