Homemade Oreo Cookies aka Whoopie Pies

Thanks to my best friend Christy Smith for introducing me to these delightful treats.

1 pkg Devil's Food cake mix
2 eggs
2/3 cup margarine, softened
vanilla frosting

Mix and roll in small balls or drop with scoop to form round dough.

Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes.  Cool.

Spread frosting in between 2 cookies that are the same in size and shape (or close enough)

Sugar Cookies

I love a good soft sugar cookie that you can use for any occasion. One you can easily frost and take to a playgroup or hand out at the holidays. This one comes from a church friend, Joni.


3/4 c. butter or marg.
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt


Mix first four ingredients, blend in rest. Chill at least 1 hour.
Roll dough thick, cut into shapes. Place on ungreased cookie
sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes. Dough may seem
a little sticky, buy you can add more flour when you roll it out.


Frosting:
1/3 c. butter
4 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla


Enjoy!!

Molasses Cookies

This recipe is from the Carolyn Reed's cookbook. They are so soft and yummy and before you know it you've eaten a dozen in one sitting! These are perfect for the Fall and Winter months and not too hard to make.


1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
4 Tbls molasses (if you double the recipe use 1/2 cup
1 egg
2 cups of flour
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda


Combine ingredients. Pinch off small walnut-size pieces of dough and roll in sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 4-6 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE if you want them soft and chewy. I think this makes about 2 or three dozen.
