Ingredients

For 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.

For Filling:

  • 1/4 cup room temperature unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup room temperature cream cheese
  • 2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

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.

For Filling:

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and cream cheese for 1 minute or until well combined. 
  2. Add in powdered sugar, then mix on lowest setting until powder is somewhat absorbed.
  3. Add in cream and vanilla extract, mix until incorporated. 
  4. Turn your mixer on high and beat for 7-10 minutes until your frosting is smooth and fluffy.
