We’ve been making these soft, delicious cookies for years. I think my mom got the recipe from her sister, Marlene, when I was a kid. (A shout-out and a “Thank You” to Mom and Aunt Marlene!) Anyway … I love them. I crave them. They’re super easy to make because the cookies only require three ingredients and the filling requires four. I usually keep a devil’s food cake mix in my pantry and cream cheese in my fridge so that I’ll be prepared whenever the need for these delicious treats arises.
