Sandwich Cookies

Charity made these on our baking day and they were SOOOO GOOD! So, naturally, I had to make them again. :)

18 1/4 oz. Devil's Food Cake Mix
3/4 C shortening
2 eggs
8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1/2 C margarine, softened
1/2 t almond extract
16 oz pkg powdered sugar

combine cake mix, shortening, egg. Form into small balls and flatten slightly* on un-greased backing sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 min. In medium bowl, blend cream cheese, margarine and almond extract. Gradually blend in powdered sugar until desired consistency. Beat with a spoon until smooth; refrigerate. When cookies are cool, spread filling between 2 cookies; repeat. keep refrigerated. Makes 2 dozen.

*I don't see the need to flatten.

Also, I find that the cream cheese filling makes enough for 2 batches of cookies.
