Cream-Filled Chocolate Cookies (Like Oreo Cakesters)

Made up only 1/2 recipe. I used a small ice cream scoop to make the cookies and they really turned out uniform to be matched later with the filling I cooked them 6 min. in my convection oven and they were perfect. They were especially good to me since they are not too sweet. Next time I will make up the full recipe and change the filling to 1/2 crisco/1/2 butter & a touch of vanilla. The children love them, not only because they are good, but they are individually packaged like a special treat. .

Truly DECADENT cookies! These were deliciously moist and the cream in the middle was just right for us. I did bake the cookies for 1 minute longer than stated in the recipe to make sure that they set in the middle. Great, easy recipe when you've got those chocolate cravings!

We were all really impressed with how much we liked these! I figured I wouldn't be crazy about the filling since it is mainly shortening, but it was really good. Maybe because of the evaporated milk?? They cookie/cake part is a little sticky because they are so moist, so I recommend not stacking them. If you do, I would try putting waxed paper between each layer. This new addiction is very good at room temperature or chilled. We are toying with the idea of pouring a thin layer of ganache over them and making them taste more like a Ho-Ho or Swiss Cake Roll.

Surprisingly good! Didn't think I would like them, but they disappeared quickly. Will try a buttercream filling next time. Thnx for posting, Tonkcats.
