homemade oreo cookies

I got this recipe from the lovely Stacie at Love and Photographs, but I think I'll just post it here for your convenience. 


Plus also? It won't be hard because guess what?


It's only 5 ingredients.


Cookies:


2 boxes Devil's Food Cake Mix (dry)
3/4 cup oil
4 eggs


mix until it makes a fudgey dough (I don't have a stand mixer, so I just use my hands. And it's messy and weird and so much fun. and it works just as well.) It will be really thick. Roll into 1"-1 1/2" balls on a lightly greased pan and back in oven for 7-9 minutes at 350 degrees. Make sure you don't over cook them!


right when you pull them out, flatten them gently with your spatula to about 1/2" thick. wait 5-7 minutes, and move to cooling rack.


frosting/filling:


8 oz. cream cheese (softened. like, more softened then normal.)
3 cups powdered sugar (more or less, to taste)


combine well and place in fridge until cookies are completely cooled.


Sandwich 2 cookies together with a big spoonful of filling! It's best to just put a dollop in the center of one cookies, and squish it down with the other cookie, to spread it out to the edges. Fill them generously!


These cookies are SIMPLE and DELICIOUS. The recipe usually makes me 19-20 oreos (38-40 cookies). And I have always had plenty of filling! These things are a hit wherever we go!
