1 devil's food cake mix
1/2 c. shortening
2 eggs
Mix the above ingredients together. Roll the dough into dime-sized balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool cookies.
FROSTING:
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 square butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 to 4 c. powdered sugar
Mix all of frosting ingredients until smooth. Frost BACKS of cookies and place together to make sandwich cookie.
I love these cookies! Yum! I make these bigger (about quarter size),
and only bake for about 5 minutes...
they are great chewy.  As soon as all the tops are cracked, 
take them out of the oven.


I don't dig that frosting recipe so much.
I like to use this one:

1 cup butter- room temperature.
1cup powdered sugar
Food coloring
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 7-8 oz jar marshmallow creme


In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy.
Add the remaining powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
Add food coloring.
Add vanilla and stir in the marshmallow creme until well blended.


Enjoy some fantastic frosting!
