Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

I love to bake.  And I love to eat baked goods.  This is not always a good combination, but I will always be the first to sign up to bring dessert to any event.  This weekend I had to make LOTS of cookies for my son's swim meet and knew this was the perfect frugal recipe for the event.  (Note:  I did triple to recipe, you should get at least 15 cookie sandwiches from a single recipe).  Since I paid very little for the ingredients and these are super easy to make, it was a no-brainer.  I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com (which happens to be one of my favorite sites on the internet) and just tweaked it a little to make it even easier than the original.  


Chocolate Sandwich Cookies


2 - 18.25oz. boxes of chocolate cake mix
4 eggs
2/3 c. vegetable oil


1 container chocolate icing

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Lightly grease cookie sheets.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the chocolate cake mix, eggs and oil.  Mix until well blended.
3. You can roll the dough into balls, but I like to use my ice cream scooper.  Then flatten the balls slightly.
4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.  Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
5. Once cooled, spread a dollop to icing onto the inside of one cookie, then top with the other to make a sandwich.  You can always use a different flavor of icing, if you think this might be chocolate overload, but for the chocolate lovers in the group, these will satisfy any craving.  Enjoy!
