List of Ingredients
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 (18 oz.) pkg. chocolate cake
mix
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. water
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 c. cocoa (Nestle Quik)
1/4 c. cold water
1 c. Crisco
1 lb. plus 1 Tbsp.
confectioners sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Recipe
Cookies: Blend cake mix, eggs, water, oil and cocoa.
Shape into ball; let stand 20 minutes. Roll into 1/2-inch
balls, place on greased cookie sheets. Flatten each with
smooth bottom on a drinking glass. (Grease glass once, dip
into the Nestle Quick each time.) Bake in 400 degrees oven
for 8
minutes. Remove cookies at once, immediately flatten with
the
back of a spatula. Let cool 20 minutes. Makes 100 cookies.
Filling: Place gelatin in a heatproof cup. Add cold
water; stir well. Put it in a pan of hot water until mixture
clears and gelatin is softened. Beat Crisco until fluffy.
Add
sugar gradually and beat about 10 minutes. Mix in vanilla.
Beat in cooled gelatin mixture. (The gelatin keeps the
filling
in place inside the cookies.) Spread about 1 tablespoon
filling
between 2 cookies. Chill until set. Makes about 50 cookies.
