Chocolate Sandwich Cookie Cake Recipe
Let me start with this, take out the butter and cream cheese ingredients first. These will be used for the frosting filling and will need to be room temperature. There is nothing worse than a chunky filling (from cold ingredients).
Ingredients:
- Devil’s food cake mix
- Eggs
- Vegetable Oil
- Cream Cheese
- Unsalted butter
- Confectioner’s sugar
- Vanilla Extract
That’s all you need…. isn’t that amazing?
How do you make the best Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies?
With a spatula, mix together the Devil’s food cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Now this will be a pretty stiff dough, so it is crucial that you mix it by hand as opposed to a hand mixer to avoid burning out the motor.
The plus side is that you get a little arm workout in.
While the cookies are baking, beat together the room temperature butter and cream cheese. Once it is smooth and creamy, add in your vanilla and beat for a couple seconds. Next add in the confectioner’s sugar gradually to avoid any snow storms in the kitchen.
When the cookies are cooled, dump your frosting mixture into a large ziplock or piping bag and swirl it on to half of the cookies. Take the remaining cookies and place them on top of the frosted cookies.
Enjoy the best Chocolate Sandwich Cookie Cake recipe.
Christmas Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
I had the pleasure working with Karin over at Kitchen Divas and I couldn’t wait to share these family favorite Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with Cream Cheese Filling. We were talking about bumping it up from the original version to a fun filled Christmas version.
It might just be me, but mint and chocolate brings me right to that after dinner mint vibe. Santa is sure to feel the love with these Christmas Chocolate Peppermint Cookies.
Now the awesome thing is to make the Chocolate Sandwich Cookie Cake Recipe the exact same, just add crushed candy cane and/or peppermint extract to create Christmas Chocolate Peppermint Cookies.
My best advice for crushing candy cane is to triple bag the unwrapped candy cane and carefully smash it with a hammer. You can also use a food processor, but that just creates more of a clean up.
