Create delicious, pink strawberry sandwich cookies quickly using boxed cake mix. These no-chill cookies are perfect for a simple dessert or bake sale favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
  • 1 cup cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  3. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
  4. Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons. Roll each dough ball completely in the powdered sugar until coated.
  5. Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies will look slightly puffy.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with a second cookie to form a sandwich.
  9. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute the vegetable oil with melted unsalted butter.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer cookie, bake for an extra minute or two, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • You can make your own strawberry frosting by beating 1/2 cup softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup softened butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon strawberry extract until smooth.
