This recipe was shared by another very dear friend Stacy... Hope to try it soon.
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 (18 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup cocoa (Nestle Quick)
1/4 cup cold water
1 cup Crisco
1 pound plus 1 Tablespoon confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cookies: Blend cake mix, eggs, water, oil and cocoa. Shape into ball; let stand 20 minutes. Roll into 1/2 inch balls, place on greased cookie sheets. Flatten each with smooth bottom on a drinking glass. (Grease glass once, dip into the Nestle Quick each time.) Bake in 400 degree oven for 8 minutes. Remove cookies at once, immediately flatten with the back of a spatula. Let cool 20 minutes. Makes 100 cookies.
Filling: Place gelatin in a heat proof cup. Add cold water; stir well. Put it in a pan of hot water until mixture clears and gelatin is softened. Beat crisco until fluffy. Add sugar gradually and beat about 10 minutes. Mix in vanilla. Beat in cooled gelatin mixture. (The gelatin keeps the filling in place inside the cookies). Spread about 1 Tablespoon filling between two cookies. Chill until set.
Makes about 50 cookies.
