Recipe: Double Doozies - similar recipe

I couldn't find anything from the Great American Cookie Factory and this was the only Double Doozie cookie recipe I could find.

P.S. Could these be like gobs? Cake-like (almost like a cake mix texture) cookie with a crisco-like frosting? I've seen recipes for "gobs" for chocolate, and other flavor cookies with fillings. I could post some of the those if you're interested.

Hope this helps.

Double Doozies
Azlinda

1 cup softened margarine
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
12 ounces chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Icing:
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup shortening
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons hot water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Mix together margarine, baking soda, granulated sugar, brown sugars, vanilla extract and pudding mix. Add eggs. Gradually add flour (may need to add a little more as dough needs to be stiff, but not too stiff). When mixed well, add chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto cookie sheet and bake 8 to 10 minutes. Cool.

While cookies are baking, make icing. Mix together confectioners' sugar, butter, shortening, milk, hot water, salt, vanilla and almond extract. Apply a layer of icing between two cooled cookies to form a sandwich.

These freeze well!
