Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
February 14, 2008
When I was about 5 years old, Momma made these cookies. She gave both Bre and I bowls of the cream filling, and let us icing the cookies. The taste of them have so many memories — it’s a taste you’ll never forget.
Cookie:
2 pkg. devil’s food cake mix
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup vegetable oil
Cream Filling:
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 to 4 cups confectioner’s sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Food coloring
Beat cake mixes, eggs, and oil (batter will be very stiff) roll into 1-inch balls, place on ungreased baking sheets and flatten slightly.
Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes, or until slight indentation remains when lightly touched. Let cool.
In another mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter. Add confectioner’s sugar and vanilla; mix until smooth. Tint with the food coloring of your choice. Spread icing between two cookies.
Makes 4 dozen.
While living the life my Lord has blessed me with, I am at home with my family enjoying being a daughter, homemaker and artist. My highest goal is to give glory to God and enjoy Him forever. It is He that has saved me with His amazing grace and is continually molding me; to Him I owe everything. Read more . . .
Thank you for the recipe. I didn’t know you had posted it on your blog. :) Thank you for giving it to me. It will be fun to try. (Together too. :)
It would be fun to have tea party for my birthday, but I don’t know I am going to have a party for my birthday, altho I would like to. We don’t usually have big parties. With 8 kids, we can’t really do that. :o) Only on big numbers, like 18… Not sure about the party, altho it would be fun to have a tea party. Only one problem —- I don’t have a tea set to use for one! LOL I need one tho. hehe, oh well.
Yes, I asked you momma if she could teach me some embroidery. That would be fun to learn from you girls too. :) I hope we can see each other again soon. Miss you girls.
Oh and I got to see Expelled! It was so good. Maybe Amanda will want to interview me for her Expelled articles. That would be fun.
love and blessings, Miss Emily Rose. Tell you sister that I keep all of you in my prayers, and also your momma and daddy. (tell Maggie while you’re at it.) Miss you all!
Love,
Rachel
