Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
In a large bowl, combine the two packages of devil's food cake mix, 4 lightly beaten eggs, and 2/3 cup vegetable oil.
-
Beat the mixture on low speed until a stiff, cohesive dough forms.
-
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
-
Place the balls on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or a spoon.
-
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and a light indentation remains when touched.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets.
-
While cookies cool, prepare the filling by beating 8 oz softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup softened butter in a separate bowl until smooth.
-
Gradually add 3 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is creamy and uniform.
-
Add red or green food coloring if desired for festive decoration.
-
Spread a generous layer of frosting on the bottom half of each cooled cookie.
-
Top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
-
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling before serving.
