Recipe...

Okay, I guess that would have been a good idea to post the recipe too, but MaLaan, you totally should have this recipe already! These are a Shumate classic!! Anyways, here it is, and just so you know, I'm eating one as I type it! YUM!

Aunt Cherie's Home Made Oreo Cookies (aka proof that Jesus loves us!) :)
2 boxes Devil's food cake mix
1 1/2 cup shortening (hey I didn't say they were good for you, I just said they were YUMMY!)
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Mix together and roll into small balls. (I use my Pampered Chef cookie scoop so they are all the same size) Bake @ 350 for 8 min. Cookies may not look done, but be careful not to over bake them. Cool for 5 min before removing from the pan.

Frosting: (the best part!)
6 oz. cream cheese (softened)
1/2 c butter (softened)
1 lbs powdered sugar
1tsp vanilla
a little milk if needed

Mix and frost between cookies.

I also have found that if you let them sit in the fridge before you shove them in your face, they are even better! Enjoy!!

I love these. It's a good thing you didn't make them while I was there. I would have eaten way to many!

That black thing is a pot filler. That way I don't have to lug the heavy pot of water all the way to the stove. lol
