Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 box 15.25 oz strawberry cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Filling
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Decorations
  • sprinkles or crushed freeze-dried strawberries for decoration

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Shaping and Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop equal portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. Let them cool completely on wire racks.
Preparing the Filling
  1. While the cookies are cooling, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy.
Assembly
  1. Once your cookies are cooled, flip half of them over and spread a generous layer of frosting on each. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
  2. For a fun touch, sprinkle some crushed freeze-dried strawberries or colorful sprinkles on top of the filling.
Enjoy!
  1. Take a moment to admire your handiwork, snap a few pictures, and then dig in!

Notes

If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the fridge for about 30 minutes for easier handling. Feel free to experiment with different cake mixes and fillings.
