Home-made Oreos


Cookie Bases:
1 Chocolate Devils food cake mix
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs

Directions:
Combine all three ingredients to form dough. If the dough is too sticky add up to 1/4 cup flour. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. (I use a cookie scoop to create uniform cookies). Place on a non-greased cookie sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes at 350 degrees. (Place in a sealed container in you want a soft and chewy cookie)

Cream Cheese Filling:
4 cups powdered sugar
1 8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup softened butter

Directions:
Mix the cream cheese and softened butter together and then add powder sugar one cup at a time. Frost the bottom of each cookie and top with a second cookie. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container.

Funfetti Cupcakes




Cupcake Ingredients:
1 pkg. Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix (just the powder, not the recipe on the box)
1 (12 ounce) can Sprite Zero

Cupcake Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line 24 cupcake tins with paper liners.  In a large bowl, combine cake mix and Sprite together.  Continue to mix until the batter is smooth without any lumps.  Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into every cupcake wrapper.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Let cool before frosting.

Frosting Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip
1 (1.5 ounce) pkg.  Vanilla Jello Instant Pudding (just the powder, not the recipe on the box)

Frosting Directions:
In a mixing bowl, add Cool Whip and pudding.  Mix with a whisk by hand or an electric hand mixer until smooth.  Spread over cooled cupcakes.  Makes enough frosting for 24 cupcakes.

Note:
We found it only made around 15 cupcakes, but we ate the batter without it being cooked (so there may have been enough for 24 cupcakes).
