Ingredients

  • 1 each cake mix box, fudge
  • 13 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar granulated
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening no substitution
  • 3 tablespoons water hot

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325F (160C).
  • Blend all ingredients; then knead with your hands until it is pliable like dough.
  • Form dough into 3/4 inch balls and press flat, 1/2 inch apart on greased cookie sheets.
  • Bottom of a glass works nice for this.
  • Bake 4 to 6 minutes or until cookies are crunchy.
  • I should think you could refrigerate the dough in cylinder shaped rolls for a couple of hours and slice 18 inch thick, as well.
  • Let cookies cool on sheets.
  • Combine filling ingredients and mix well.
  • Form into balls about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter, again using your hands.
  • Sandwich one filling in the center of two cookies and carefully press down until the filling spreads almost to the edge.
