Directions:

Combine the two together in a large bowl. Grease a smaller cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes (be careful because every oven cooks differently). Cook it until it is golden brown. Turn the oven off and sprinkle 1 package of chocolate chips until they are almost all the way melted. Take it out of the oven and spread it all over, to make it the second layer. Then put it in the freezer to harden. Once it is completely hard, then place the frosting on:

Frosting:

1 cup of powdered sugar
3/4 cup of peanut butter
Enough milk to make it a heavy cream

Once you have mixed that all together, spread it over the top! This is one of my favorite deserts so I hope you enjoy it!!! They are delicious!!! :)

Fabulous Homemade Oreo Cookies

Ingredients:

2 pkg. Chocolate Cake Mix (Devil Food is the best!)
1 1/2 cups of vegetable shortening
4 eggs
2 Tablespoons of milk

Cream Filling:

1 pkg. cream cheese
2 2/3 cups of powdered sugar
3/4 cups of butter

Directions:

Combine the the four ingredients together. ( Its easier to mix just ONE cake mix then slowly blend the second package...it gets pretty thick and it makes it hard to mix with both). Then once it is all mixed together roll the dough into small balls and place it on the cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9 to 10 minutes. While the cookies are baking mix the cream filling and place it in the fridge to cool off. When the cookies are done let them sit for a little bit so they don't fall apart. Once their cooled off, just scoop up how ever much you want between two cookies and make a oreo cookie! They are delicious, hope you enjoy!!
