Ingredients

1 18.25 ounce package white cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 egg whites
2 cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg whites
12 chocolate sandwich cookies

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, water, oil and 3 egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed for 2 minutes. Gently stir in crushed cookies. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans. Remove from pans, and completely cool on racks.
To make frosting: In a small bowl, thoroughly blend the 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, shortening, vanilla, and 2 egg whites. Beat in remaining confectioners sugar until creamy. Frost the cake and garnish with the remaining cookies.
