Homemade Oreos

1 devil's food cake mix
1/2 cup shortening (don't use less, but a tbsp. or 2 extra won't hurt, especially if the dough seems dry- it varies slightly depending on the cake mix)
2 eggs

Mix all ingredients together. Roll the dough into dime-sized balls and place onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 35o degrees for 8 minutes. Cool cookies.

Cream Cheese Frosting
4 oz. cream cheese
2 tbsp. of butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2-3 cups powdered sugar

Mix all ingredients together until smooth. Frost the backs of the cookies and place two cookies together.

Teresa's Fast and Easy Cheesecake

1 can sweetened, condensed milk
12 oz. cool whip
1/4 cup lemon juice

Mix ingredients together and pour over a graham cracker crust in a 9x13 pan. Chill 2-3 hours before serving. Top with your favorite topping.
