I can't believe that it's December 1st already! I mean, I do believe I was just ringing in the new year 2010 only a week ago!! Ahhh...the joys of getting older....the time just flies!! Anyway, I'm making my baking & candy making to-do list this evening, as the snow falls slowly & covers the ground. And first up on my list for this weekend, is what I call Yummy Sandwich Cookies. I actually got this recipe from my mother in law, who got it from a magazine several years ago. I've heard some people call these cookies Whoopie Pies and Brownie Cookies...I just call them YUMMY!! =) And I hope you do as well!!
Yummy Sandwich Cookies
Cookies:
2 pkgs. Devils Food cake mix
4 eggs
2/3 c. vegetable oil
Filling:
1 pkg. cream cheese (8oz.)
1/2 c. butter, softened
3-4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
To make cookie dough: mix cake mixes, eggs, & oil together in large mixing bowl. Batter will be stiff. Roll into 1-inch balls. Place onto un-greased cookie sheets and flatten slightly. Bake @ 350* for 8-10 minutes. Let cookies cool completely.
To make filling: beat cream cheese & butter until light & fluffy. Add powdered sugar & vanilla & beat until smooth. Spread over cookie & make into sandwich cookies.
Filling can be tinted/colored for various occasions & holidays. For example, for Christmas, I will divide the filling in half, and color 1/2 red & the other 1/2 green.
These cookies are always a huge hit anytime I make them, and are especially good with coffee or hot tea.
