Homemade Oreo Cookies

These are always a favorite. This recipe is everywhere but, I just recently found it on My Sister's Cafe. A few years ago one of my friends made these for a baby shower and used pink icing...too cute. I made them for Superbowl this year. I should have thought to make the icing the two teams' colors. But, as usual, my ingenious thinking comes, just late.

For the Cookies:
1 package devil's food cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 - cup oil

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add oil and eggs to cake mix and blend together. Roll dough into balls (a little larger than a quarter). Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on sheet (until warm). Remove cookies from sheet and place on cooling rack.To assemble the cookies, add about a tablespoon of filling into the center of one cookie. Place another cookie similar in size on top of the filling. Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie. Continue this process until all the cookies have been sandwiched with cream.

1 block of cream cheese (8 oz)
3-4 cups - powdered sugar (depending on desired consistency)
