Oreo Cookies

COOKIE WAFERS:

 1 (18.25 oz) box Dark Fudge Cake Mix
 1/3 cup water
 2 tablespoons shortening

CREME FILLING:

 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
 1/2 cup shortening (no substitution)

 3 tablespoons hot water

Preheat oven to 325F. Blend all ingredients; then knead with your hands until it is pliable like dough. Form dough into 3/4 inch balls and press flat, 1/2 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bottom of a glass works nice for this. Bake 4 to 6 minutes or until cookies are crunchy. I should think you could refrigerate the dough in cylinder shaped rolls for a couple of hours and slice 1/8 inch thick, as well. Let cookies cool on sheets.

Combine filling ingredients and mix well. Form into balls about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter, again using your hands. Sandwich one filling in the center of two cookies and carefully press down until the filling spreads almost to the edge.

Makes 2 dozen cookies (4 dozen wafers)
