Top Secret Recipes Version of Nabisco Oreo Cookies
- 18 14 ounces fudge cake mix
- 3 tablespoons shortening, melted
- 12 cup cake flour (measured then sifted)
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons brown paste food coloring (optional)
- 3 34 cups confectioners' sugar
- 12 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 cup vegetable shortening
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- Combine the cookie ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the water a little bit at a time until the dough forms.
- Cover and chill for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out a portion of the dough to just under one 16th of an inch thick.
- To cut, use a lid from a spice container with a 1 1/2 inch diameter.
- Arrange the cut rounds on a cookie sheet that is sprayed with a light coating of non-stick spray.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove wafers from the oven and cool completely.
- As the cookies bake, make the filling by combining the filling ingredients with an electric mixer.
- When the cookies have cooled, roll a small portion (heaping 1/4 teaspoon) of the filling into a ball (just over 1/4 inch in diameter), and press it between two of the cookies.
- Repeat with the remaining cookies.
