Homemade Mint Oreos

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

These cookies are a family favorite--for both sides. They are super easy to make and the kids can help too!

Cookie:
1 Devil's Food Cake Mix
1/2 Cup Butter--room temperature
1 egg

Frosting:
1 pound Powdered Sugar
1/4 Cup Butter--room temperature
4 oz. cream cheese--room temperature
green food coloring
1 TB Mint extract

1. In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, butter and egg. Sometimes I have to add 1-3 tablespoons of water so the dough isn't dry.
2. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Remove and let cool.
4. In another bowl, mix cream cheese and butter until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add green coloring and Mint extract.
5. Spread frosting on the inside of a cookie. Place another cookie on top to make a sandwich.

Makes about 18 sandwiches

Cook's Note:

I have made variations over the years. I recently used a Funfetti cake mix with Almond frosting. They were delicious!
