Oreo Cookies

First recipe I tried using a cake mix, introduced to me by Holly Tribett, neighbor in Las Vegas

Cookie:
1 box deviel's food cake mix 3/4 C. solid shortening
2 eggs

Mix together and roll in med size balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 350* for 9-10 minutes. Cool

Filling:
1 (8 oz.) Pkg. cream cheese 1/4 C. butter
2 3/4 C. powdered sugar 1 Tbsp. Vanilla

Combine filling. Spread filling between 2 cookies.

For thanksgiving in 2008 we went to Rockville. Katie and her friend Molly make us these pumpkin cookies-so yummy!! I will never make them from scratch again.

Andes Mint Cookies

Make the Oreo Cookie recipe and when you remove from immediately insert an unwrapped andes mint in each cookie.

This was a recipe I used one year in Salt Lake for neighbor gifts. You buy a box of Andes( usually decorated at christmas time) and a chocolate cake mix( in a red box) and tie together with a ribbon and this recipe.
