Who can resist these chewy homemade oreo cookies? These totally remind me of when I was a kid. We used to take them for treats on picnics in the summer. Sometimes we would put them in the freezer and eat them cold. Any way you eat them, they are so good!! *Also, for a yummy variation, try our grasshopper (mint) oreos. Recipe below.

- 2 packages Devils Food Cake Mix
- ¾ cup shortening or margarine (softened)
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 8 oz. cream cheese-softened
