- Cool on a wire rack.
- Make the cream cheese frosting while your cookies bake.
- Beat the cream cheese and butter together until no lumps remain.

- Set aside until cookies are ready to frost.
- When cooled frost one cookie with the cream cheese frosting then top with another.
- Store cookies in the fridge.
Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
I find the orange color of the baked cookies depends on the batch of the cake mixes from the company. Sometimes they are a brilliant orange and other times they're not. Doesn't depend on how fresh the cake mix either.
They should be good for a week in the fridge. Mine have never made it more than a couple days without being completely devoured though.
