yesterday we celebrated my little brother's 15th birthday with a little party at our house. i love planning and putting together parties --- but my poor hubs. i get so stressed when the tiniest thing go wrong and he always has to calm me down. thank goodness i married such a relaxed and easy going man, because i can be such a stressed out mess.
anyway...my brother loves circus peanuts and homemade oreos, such a teen. i've talked about these oreos quite a few times so i thought i would finally post the recipe for you! enjoy.
ingredients:
1 devils food cake mix
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
cookie directions:
preheat oven to 350 degrees. mix cake mix, eggs and oil. roll into balls and bake for 10 minutes. cool.
*frosting ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
frosting directions:
cream butter and shortening until fluffy. add vanilla. slowly pour in powdered sugar, then add milk while mixing. after the cookies and frosting are made, frost the middle and put together.
*this frosting recipe makes a lot of frosting, so unless you like a lot on your cookies, i suggest you half the recipe. it works out perfectly.
