Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 large Eggs
- to taste Black Food Coloring Optional for achieving a darker cookie color.
- 4 oz Cream Cheese Softened for easier mixing.
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Softened.
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add the Devil’s Food Cake Mix, vegetable oil, and eggs to a large bowl. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to combine. If a darker cookie is desired for that Oreo look, add a few drops of black food coloring until the desired color is achieved.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are set. Let them cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla and beat again until fully combined.
- Add the filling to a piping bag or a ziplock bag and snip off the end for a medium sized opening. Squeeze a dollop of frosting on the backside of one cookie and sandwich another on top. Repeat with the rest of the cookies.
Notes
- Tip 1: Store leftover cakesters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to maintain their softness.
- Tip 2: You can freeze the assembled cakesters! Just make sure to wrap them well in plastic wrap and then store in a freezer bag for up to a month.
- Tip 3: These cakesters are fantastic with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Tip 4: Experiment with different fillings! Add peanut butter or cookie butter for a unique twist.
- Tip 5: Mix the batter just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
