2 pkgs 18.5 oz devil's food cake mix
4 eggs, lightly beaten
⅔ cup vegetable oil
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese (softened)
½ cup butter or margarine (softened)
4 cups confectioner's sugar
1 tsp peppermint extract

vanilla

Directions:
Beat cake mixes, eggs and oil in bowl. Batter will
be very stiff. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on
ungreased baking sheet and flatten slightly. Bake
at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until a slight
indentation remains when lightly touched. Gently
remove from sheet and cool. They will be very soft
and will set as they cool.

In another bowl beat cream cheese and softened

coloring and beat until smooth. Spread onto the
bottom half of the WELL COOLED cookies. Top with
