Instructions
Make the Cookies
Preheat Oven to 350 F Degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine the Cake Mix, Eggs, and Vegetable Oil. Mix on low speed until fully combined. Gradually increase the mixing speed until a thick batter forms.
The cookie dough will be sticky. You can choose to chill cookie dough for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator at this point. This makes the dough thicker, resulting in thicker cookies or larger, flatter cookies.
Scoop out cookie dough balls using a medium cookie scoop, and place them onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Leave at least 2 inches between the cookie dough balls to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes in preheated 350 F Degree Oven, checking them at least at the 8-minute mark.
Cookies will be done when the edges turn a very light golden color and the centers are set. Do not overbake the cookies.
Allow your cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before moving them to a wire rack to completely cool.
Oreo Cakesters Creme
In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the softened Cream Cheese, Butter, and Vanilla Extract until smooth.
Add Powdered Sugar until you have the right consistency. The filling should be thick. However, if it becomes too thick, just add a little bit of milk to thin it again. Only add a tablespoon at a time.
Assemble Cookie Sandwiches
Add frosting to the underside of each cookie and top it with an additional cookie to make a cookie sandwich.
