whoo hoo these were so good and easy, I mixed marshmallows with a little butter-as for rice krispie squares. Melted the marshmallows and spread on one cookie, then put cream cheese on the other -delicious!

Easiest recipe ever and its really yummy! The cookies were a little crunchier than I like but it think if i wouldve baked them a minute or two less they wouldve been perfect. My three yr old can amlost mix this up herself!

What a great recipe version and so versatile to be able to use other flavored cake mixes! I will definately have to try them! I used a cream cheese and marshmallow mixture for the filling instead...Yummy!! Also great to take on camp outs... roast marshmallows and put them between 2 cookies..delicious!

Since this was such an easy recipe, I would definitely make them again. I'm not a fan of filling/frosting so I ate the cookies unfilled but my guests enjoyed the sandwich version.

I use melted butter in place of the shortening, no need to use a pastry blender that way. Plus butter is better anyways! I've used other flavor cake mixes with good results as well.

I just finished making these for a bake sale. I wanted something a little different but easy and quick. Besides being super easy, they taste amazing!! I used the Cream Cheese II recipe to cut down on the overall cream cheese flavor. If I could give this recipe 10 stars I would. Thanks so much for sharing!!

These are way, way WAY better than Oreos. I can't really think of an easier recipe. For the filling I mixed about half a cup of shortening with 2 cups of powdered sugar and 1/2-1 tsp. vanilla. Making again soon!

I didn't quite love these. I think they were just way too sweet and I tend to like things sweet. If you do make them, I filled a large plastic bag with the frosting and then turned over half of them and lined them up. I then piped in a large glob of frosting on each and then used the remaining cookies to top them. I'm sure it saved a ton of time to do it this way and piping the icing was way faster than if I would have tried to scoop it in.

Sickenly sweet! I think maybe kids would like these, but an adult's pallet is overwhelmed---with this sugar on sugar experience

This is an easy, kid friendly recipe. My kids (5 & 8 yrs) loved making and eating them. Delicious in my book too! I used the cream cheese frosting suggested, replacing the vanilla with almond extract which is a must try.

I made this with a dark chocolate cake mix and used butter as reccomended by others.Delicious!! I made a cream cheese frosting and then used different flavoring like Mint,raspberry, chocolate and peanut butter.I give this a 4 because i tried to use white cake and they did not turn out. they were all flat.I highly reccomend this otherwise.

These are delicious! The dough was a little hard to work with at first, but I just used my hands to work through it, like bread dough and it turned out perfectly! Makes a lot of cookies and they freeze really well. Taste great right out of the freezer! Yum!

We liked these alot. Disappeared very quickly. I used a Golden cake mix and chocolate cream cheese frosting to go between then. A definite hit at our house. PS...I used melted margarine for the fat in the recipe, no bad effects.

Terrific and easy to make. The only drawback is that the shortening makes them very "heavy", so if you are looking for a light and fluffy cookie, this isn't it, but the cookies are delicious and present very well.

Great recipe! Used 1 box cake mix, 1 stick butter and 2 eggs with electric mixer. How easy is that? 1 level tablespoon for each cookie, 10 min. Each one perfect and the same size. Yummy!

I made mine with yellow cake mix and the Creamy Chocolate Frosting recipe found on this site. So they were vanilla-y on the outside and chocolaty on the inside. The only problem I had was that after baking for nine minutes the cookies were so dark on the bottom that they weren't quite burnt, but dark enough to really intrude on the flavor. Next time I'll lower the oven temperature and see how they turn out. Otherwise, really nice recipe, thanks so much!
