Naughty Chocolate Cookies


Fast, easy and delicious! Not very healthy, but oh, so satisfying.

1 box Chocolate Cake Mix (I prefer Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge)
1/2 Cup shortening
2 eggs

Combine ingredients in large bowl and mix well. Drop cookies onto ungreased cookie sheet using a small scoop. Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes.




These can be used as Oreo-type sandwich cookies, but I never have the willpower to frost and assemble them. Just slap some frosting on one and throw it in your mouth. So tasty!
