When Rob's mother, Ivie, worked at Mountain Fuel in Salt Lake City she acquired this recipe. The Phippens grew up enjoying these chocolate sensations and always called them the Mountain Fuel Cookies. They are truly delicious and easy to bake.
MOUNTAIN FUEL COOKIES
1 box of brownie or chocolate cake mix
1/3 C shortening
2 eggs
FROSTING
1 C powdered sugar
1/2 t vanillla
1 T milk
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat until well mixed. Scoop out spoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place, about 2 inches apart, on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the bottom of the cookie is lightly browned. Place cookies on a wax paper lined cooling rack. While cookies are cooling prepare frosting. Combine all the frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whip until mixed. You may need to add a bit more milk to get the right consistency. Once the cookies are cool you can make the "sandwiches". Place frosting in between 2 of the cookies making a cookie sandwich. Repeat until finished then serve.
*Note: A simple cream cheese or butter cream frosting is really good with the cookies too.
