Faux-Reos

Directions

1. 1
   Set oven racks for upper third and middle third of oven.
2. 2
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
3. 3
   Combine all cookie ingredients and mix well.
4. 4
   Batter will be thick.
5. 5
   Roll dough into balls the size of nickels; you should have 48 balls.
6. 6
   Place on two greased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
7. 7
   Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, switching sheets up for down, and rotating back to front, halfway through.
8. 8
   Cool on cookie sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks until completely cool.
9. 9
   Meanwhile, beat together all filling ingredients.
10. 10
    If using a stand or hand mixer, start VERY slowly, or sugar will spray all over the room!
11. 11
    When blended, transfer to a gallon-size ziptop bag and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
12. 12
    When cookies are cool and filling has set up slightly, cut off a corner of the ziptop bag and, using it like a pastry bag, pipe filling onto the bottoms of half of the cookies.
13. 13
    Stick bottom-to-bottom with another, unfrosted cookie.
