Ellen's Cake Mix Cookies AND Alison's Homemade Oreo's

Ellen's Cake Mix Cookies: 1 pkg. chocolate cake mix 1/4 c. flour 2 eggs 1/2 c. butter, melted 1 tsp. vanilla 1 pkg. chocolate chips Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Alison's Homemade Oreo's: Prepare cookies per recipe above but omit chocolate chips. In mixer, prepare buttercream frosting: 1 stick butter 1/2 c. shortening 3 c. confectioner's sugar 1-2 tsp. vanilla Spoon into a ziploc bag, snip a tiny bit of a bottom corner, and squeeze onto bottoms of cookies. top with another cookie. Consume quickly before every one else discovers you! Thayne's favorite variation: add a little mint extract and green food coloring to the buttercream frosting to make mint Oreo's.
