Cookies: Blend cake mix, eggs, water, oil and cocoa.

balls, place on greased cookie sheets. Flatten each with
smooth bottom on a drinking glass. (Grease glass once, dip
into the Nestle Quick each time.) Bake in 400 degrees oven
for 8
minutes. Remove cookies at once, immediately flatten with
the
back of a spatula. Let cool 20 minutes. Makes 100 cookies.
Filling: Place gelatin in a heatproof cup. Add cold water; stir well. Put it in a pan of hot water until mixture clears and gelatin is softened. Beat Crisco until fluffy. Add sugar gradually and beat about 10 minutes. Mix in vanilla. Beat in cooled gelatin mixture. (The gelatin keeps the filling in place inside the cookies.) Spread about 1 tablespoon filling between 2 cookies. Chill until set. Makes about 50 cookies. - Kim
