I made these last night for some friends that came over. They loved them! I replaced the 2/3 cup of shortening with butter ( worked fine) and I had no frosting so I used powdered sugar as a topping. They were soft, sweet but not too sweet, delicious cookies. I will be making these again sometime soon!

Everyone loved these! I used funfetti cake mix and strawberry and chocolate frosting! They were gone within the hour.

I made these cookies for the raffle table at my club meeting. I had extra copies of the recipe for anyone that wanted them. The next month, I got 11 raves for the cookies, so they will be made again. Everyone at my house, loves Chocolate - in any form.

Easy and quick recipe to make. Very simple, and delicious! It is important to form the balls small to keep thier shape. If you spoon drop them they flatten out. yummy!

Easy and tasted great. Made for a bake sale and all were sold. I used my Pampered Chef small scoop which made all the cookies the same size. Dusted with confectioners sugar.

I just made these a few days ago, and they were not only easy but absolutely delicious! They are a little puffy when you first take them out of the oven, but like another person said, they flatten out as they cool. I used the coconut pecan frosting for the sandwich cookies, but I had some that didnt match up properly, so I dusted those with powdered sugar. AMAZING! I think it would be too much to do both frosting and powdered sugar, though. I've already had a few friends ask me for this recipe, too! I can't wait to try it with other flavors!

absolutely wonderful! My daughter made these for me last night (she knows how i adore a bit of sweet with my evening decaf tea - such a good kid I'm so lucky to have!) Anyways, naturally we didnt have german chocolate cake mix on hand, nor the frosting - and I was low on shortening soooooo - there were changes - She used a fudge brownine mix 1/3 cup shortening, 1/3 cup margarine and a peanut butter frosting (1 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, splash of milk and whipped with a hand mixer. The cookies did spread out quite a bit - but were FANTASTIC. crisp on the edges with the middles a bit soft and a little frosting ... wonderuld sandwich cookies YUM. Cant wait to pick up the german chocolate cake mix!! thanks BLKLABB1. Utterly wonderul

I used 1/3 cup of vegetable oil and 2 eggs. They turned out soft and delicious! I've liked other cake cookies better because they had a stronger flavor but it's great with the icing in between.
