Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Vanilla cake mix
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until a smooth dough forms.
Scoop equal portions of the dough (about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffy. Do not overbake.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and mix until incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and milk, beating until the frosting is fluffy. Adjust the texture by adding more milk (1 teaspoon at a time) if needed.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of frosting onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.
If desired, roll the edges of the frosting in sprinkles for decoration.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and frosting. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
