Strawberry Cookie Sandwiches

One of my new favorites!  Easy, inexpensive and incredible!  Enjoy! Since they are stacked will yield between 12-15 cookie sandwiches.  So, you might want to double the recipe!

Ingredients:

Cookies:
1 package strawberry cake mix
2 eggs
3/4 cup shortening

Frosting:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 stick of butter, softened
2 tbsp vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar

Step 1: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Step 2: Mix together all cookie ingredients in mixer on medium for two minutes until well blended.
Step 3:  Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll into balls (since you are going to
             stack them it's important they are all roughly the same size.) Place 2 in. apart on cookie sheet.
Step 4: bake for 8 minutes at 350 degrees.
Step 5: Remove from oven, let cool for a minute and transfer to a cooling sheet.
Step 6:  Mix frosting ingredients in mixer on medium until smooth.
Step 7:  Once cookies are completely cool, frost and stack together like an oreo.
Step 8:  Try not to eat all of them in one sitting.
