Ingredients:

  • 2 (18 1/4 oz) boxes devil's food cake mix
  • 1 1/2 cups shortening
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. Set oven racks for upper third and middle third of oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  2. Combine all cookie ingredients and mix well. Batter will be thick.
  3. Roll dough into balls the size of nickels; you should have 48 balls. Place on two greased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, switching sheets up for down, and rotating back to front, halfway through.
  4. Cool on cookie sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks until completely cool.
  5. Meanwhile, beat together all filling ingredients. If using a stand or hand mixer, start VERY slowly, or sugar will spray all over the room! When blended, transfer to a gallon-size ziptop bag and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  6. When cookies are cool and filling has set up slightly, cut off a corner of the ziptop bag and, using it like a pastry bag, pipe filling onto the bottoms of half of the cookies. Stick bottom-to-bottom with another, unfrosted cookie.
