• Mix together the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and shortening until well combined. The dough is quite thick.
• Roll the dough into balls slightly bigger than one inch. Try to get them all the same size.
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 8 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Remove from cookie sheet to cool.

Cream Filling

• For the cream filling beat the whipping cream and powdered sugar together until it's thick. You will want it quite thick because when you add the strawberries it relaxes a lot.
• If you want it to be a light pink color you can add a few drops of red food coloring. That is totally optional.
• Wash and dry the strawberries then dice them into small pieces. Gently fold the diced strawberries into the whipped cream.  
• Spread the freshly whipped topping with strawberries onto a cookie, and then top with another cookie.
