Servings: 18
Ingredients
Cookie Sandwiches
- 1 Cake Mix Devil's Food Cake Mix 1 box
- 2 Eggs Large
- ⅓ cup Vegetable Oil
Frosting
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese Softened
- 3 tablespoons Butter Softened
- 2 ½ cups Powdered Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2-4 tablespoons Milk
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.
Notes
Storage:
- Store: Keep these chocolate-flavored snack cakes once they have completely cooled in an airtight container for up to 7 days. These cookies are best if enjoyed within 2-3 days.
- Freezing: Cookies can be stored in a sealed container and frozen for up to 3 months. Place parchment paper between each cookie to prevent sticking.
