Why Choose This Recipe
- Easy as my Carrot Cake Oreos
- Highly addictive!
- Minimal ingredients
Ingredient Notes
- Cake Mix- both "pudding in the mix" and regular cake mixes work.
Step by Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper or spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, butter, and eggs together well.
- This is easier to do with a mixer because this dough is thick and kind of "gummy." It will take a minute for all the cake mix to be incorporated in.
- Scoop out by ½ tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets. I usually can get 20 on a pan.
- Bake at 350 for 7 minutes.
- Cool completely before frosting.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth with no lumps.
- Add the vanilla and powdered sugar.
- Beat until completely combined.
- Frost one cooled cookie with cream cheese frosting and top with another cookie.
- Store in the fridge.
