- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 10
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 12 sandwich cookies
Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix (devil’s food, triple chocolate, etc.)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Granulated sugar to roll the cookies in (about 1 cup)
1 cup frosting of choice (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Mix the dough: In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix, eggs, vanilla extract and oil until fully combined. Dough will be thick.
-
Scoop and bake: Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough, roll them in the granulated sugar, then place them onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set but centers still look soft.
-
Cool: Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Fill and sandwich: Once cool, pair cookies by size. Spread or pipe frosting on the flat side of one cookie, then press another cookie on top to make a sandwich.
-
Optional: Roll the frosted edges in sprinkles, crushed cookies, or mini chocolate chips for a fun finish.
