Recipes Made with Cake Mixes
Gloreo Cookies
Yield: 48 cookies
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 (18.25 ounce) devil's food cake mix*
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1/4 cup Nestle's Quik cocoa
Filling
- 1 packet unflavored gelatine
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 cup Crisco
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Blend all ingredients for cookie dough until you can shape the dough into a smooth ball. Let stand for 20 minutes, loosely covered.
- Form dough into marble size balls. Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheets. Flatten each with a smooth bottom of drinking glass greased once and dipped into Nestle's Quik powder.
- Bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove at once from baking sheet to paper towels, and immediately flatten each cookie with a smooth spatula. Let cool 20 minutes.
- Soften gelatine in cold water. Place in a heatproof cup in pan of hot water until gelatine is transparent.
- Beat Crisco until fluffy, adding vanilla extract and confectioners' sugar a little at a time. Beat in gelatine mixture when it completely cooled, but not set or firm.
- When cooled, shape filling into 1 inch balls. Place between the two bottom sides of the cooled cookies and press gently until the filling has spread to edges of cookie.
Notes
* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
