Source: Gloria Pitzer's Secret Recipes (pamphlet) Preheat oven to 400
degrees. Combine cake mix, eggs + water, oil and cocoa powder. Blend
well until you can form it into a ball. Let stand 20 minutes. Form
dough into 1/2-inch balls placed 2 inches apart on lightly greased
baking sheet Flatten each ball with bottom of a greased once drinking
glass that has been dipped in Nestle's Quik powder to deepen the color
of the cookies to resemble the originals. Bake 8 minutes. Immediately
out of the oven, flatten each cookie with the back of a pancake
turner. Let cool 20 minutes while you prepare the filling. The
filling: Soften the gelatin in 1/4 C cold water and place in a pan of
hot water until clear. Meanwhile, beat the Crisco until fluffy, adding
the powdered sugar a little at a time. Add the vanilla and cooled
gelatin and beat 6 minutes. Shape into 1-inch balls and place between
the bottom sides of two cookies, pressing them gently but firmly
together until the filling becomes nicely rounded at the edges. Chill
about one hour to set the filling. Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest Volume
