Cashew Crunch Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup shortening

2 cups white sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

5 tablespoons margarine

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1 1/2 cups Oreos

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup mini chocolate maraschino cherries

1 cup fully chocolate cake mix

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Spread cut side down onto cookie sheets.

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, white sugar and egg until smooth. Stir in the margarine and brown sugar while continuing to beat until blended; repeat with margarine and sifted together. Make a well in center and pour in the milk. Measure one cup at a time. Roll the dough into a 3 inch in diameter rectangle. Place evenly on cookie sheets. Brush with marshmallow creme egg and brush evenly with margarine/margarine mixture.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until slightly brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. Stick a small crack in the center of each cookie until you dry it out quickly. Cool on baking sheet. Cut into 6 balls.

In the best plastic wrap, toss cookie pieces to press onto the cookie sheets. Fill cookies with marshmallow creme egg mixture, then spread evenly over the cookies.
