Homemade Oreo Cookies

Okay, so I must give credit to Julie for this recipe because she gave it to me when I got married. It is one of our faves, but we don't make them often because they are not very figure friendly. But the yumminess (if that is a word) totally makes you forget how un-healthy they are.
2 boxes chocolate cake mix (I like to use devil's food)
1 1/4 cup butter
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
Mix together until a soft dough forms. Roll out about 1/4 in thick and cut into small circles. (I use champagne flutes as my cookie cutters, they are the perfect size) Bake at 350* for 10 minutes. Cool on paper bags.
Filling:
3 1/2 cups powder sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup butter
8 oz. cream cheese
Cream together until a thick icing forms. Spread icing on the bottom side of the cookie and stick two cookies together. We were in a goofy picture taking mood.

I am so glad you put this on here. I have always loved the homemade oreos (way better than the real ones) but never knew anyone that made them (not enough to ask for the recipe). Thanks Tami (and Julie)!
