Homemade Oreo Type Filled Cookies

This is the easiest recipe to make.  It was also the stickiest cookie dough I have ever worked with.  Be sure to grease your hands before rolling the balls.

After rolling the cookie dough into 1 inch balls, flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in Chocolate drink powder.

When cookies are done, remove from pan to waxed paper immediately and flatten with a spatula.  Let cool before adding the filling.

Roll the filling into 1 inch balls and place between the two bottom sides of the cooled cookies, pressing gently until the filling has spread to the edge of the cookies.
