Sandwich "Cakies"

So, you know the things sold by a certain brand name that mutated their famous cookie into a cake type treat? Here's how to make them at home, gf/cf. My kids call them MommyO's :)

Cakies
1 box gluten free cake mix (I used vanilla Betty Crocker - they were on sale...you can use chocolate or whatever kind floats your kids boat)
1/2 cup almond meal
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp melted Earth's Balance (or your favorite dairy free margarine or shortening, or coconut oil, whatever you like to use)
Enough rice flour to make the dough the consistency of moist play-doh

Preheat oven to 350. Mix it all together (add rice flour as necessary) and drop in teaspoon size balls onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Cover the balls with a layer of plastic wrap. Press them down into flat circles with the bottom of a juice glass. Remove plastic wrap. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until the edges get a little golden. Let them cool.

Filling:
1/2 cup melted Earth's Balance margarine
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups of powdered sugar (I buy the corn free version at Whole Foods - 365 brand - you can get a case discount on this if you have a place to store it...)
1 tsp vanilla
Enough non-dairy milk to get desired consistency

Mix the filling ingredients together, adding milk as necessary to get it to the proper frosting consistency. Use to spread on the bottom of 1 cakie, make a sandwich out of it with another one and there you go - happy, happy yummy stuff!
