Homemade Double Chocolate Oreos

Cookies:

1 pkg Devils Food cake mix

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened to room temperature

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

1 cup chocolate chips

Beat half of cake mix with butter, vanilla, and eggs on medium until smooth. Stir in remaining mix and chips. Dough will be very dry at first, so you may need to hand-mix it. Drop quarter-sized balls on ungreased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes, the less the better if you want softer cookies. Cool on sheet for 1 minute then transfer to cooling rack. Cool completely.

Cream cheese filling:

1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature

8 oz cream cheese, softened

3/4 - 1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Cream butter and add cream cheese and vanilla. Mix well. Gradually add sugar until you reach the desired consistency and flavor.

*You might even be able to get away with halfing this filling recipe and will still have enough for 1 batch of cookies.

To assemble the cookies, add about a tablespoon of filling into the center of one cookie. Place another cookie similar in size on top of the filling. Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie. Continue this process until all the cookies have been sandwiched with cream.
