No-fail Cake Batter Cookie Sandwiches

The very first recipe I ever learned to make was cake mix cookies. With only 3 ingredients, all of which pre-measured, my mom knew that it would be pretty hard for me to mess it up. And she was totally right. I’ve probably made cake mix cookies at least a hundred times. But… for some strange reason… I had never made them into sandwiches. Until now. 

Lately I’ve had a little obsession with frosting. Actually it was the perfecting of the frosting that is.

So in a couple of weeks we had frosting on cupcakes…. and layer cakes…. and sheet cakes… and cookie sandwiches… and spoons. Ok, a LOT of spoons. 

Besides learning how to get my recipe just right, I also learned that my husband and daughter loved the cookie sandwiches. Now they ask for them all the time. Which is a good thing, because cookies are my jam. 

No-fail cake batter cookie sandwiches - so easy and so delicious!

When I put together my two favorite things (frosting + cookies) then we have the perfect treat. I love it when a plan comes together! Want to make them? It’s easy… so let’s get to it.

Cake Batter Cookie Sandwiches

*this post contains affiliate links*

Ingredients for the cookies:

  • 1 cake mix – 15 oz. box (I used yellow, but you can use any flavor – go crazy.)
  • 1 large egg – room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) room temperature unsalted butter.

Directions for cookies:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or you could use a handheld), put in all the ingredients together. Mix together until you have a play-dough consistency. 
  3. On a non-stick baking pan (or use parchment paper), scoop cookies with a 2 oz. portion scoop and place them about 1 inch apart. They will not spread much, but it makes them chewy and delicious!
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until barely golden on the bottom. Watch the first batch carefully – all ovens vary.
  5. Let completely cool before filling.

    I love aqua, most greens, reds, blues, but as I stated I certainly do not like that in any1’s hair. ! of my identical twins (51) had her hair similar to yours. Did not like it all as 2 me it looks so unnatural & kookie. Jmo. Sorry don’t know how to spell as I am old. Used to be a secretary & could spell well or checked out how words were spelled. Now can’t even remember simple words somexs.
