18 oz pkg devil's food cake mix
2 eggs
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp cooking oil
1/2 cup bitter cocoa powder
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1 cup crisco
1 tsp vanilla
1 lb plus 1 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Blend all COOKIE DOUGH ingredients together until you can shape the
dough into a smooth ball. Let it stand 20 minutes, loosely covered.
Form dough into marble-sized balls. Place 2 inches apart on greased
cookie sheet. Flatten each with smooth bottom of a drinking glass
greased once and dipped into Nestles' Quick Powder. (Or use sweetened
chocolate drink powder). Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove
cookies at once from baking sheet, to paper toweling and at once,
flatten each cookie with back of pancake turner. Let cool 20
minutes. Fill with COOKIE FILLING mixture. (Cookie Filling) Soften
gelatin in cold water. Place in heatproof cup in pan of hot water
till gelatin is transparent.
Meanwhile beat Crisco till fluffy, adding vanilla and sugar a little
at a time. Beat in Gelatin mixture when it is completely cooled, but
not yet "set" or firm. This is used to give the filling stability -
as well as protein! When cooled, shape filling into 1 inch balls.
Place between the two bottom sides of the cooled cookies, pressing
gently till filling has spread to edge of cookies and rounded-out
like the originals. This is suppose to be a great imitation version
of the original Nabisco Oreos.

The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` far back into history, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs caused an outbreak in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were increasing in popularity due to better eduction, more free time and disposable income. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
