Homemade Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
These chocolate sandwich cookies begin with a cake mix, making them easier for kids to prepare. Change the frosting color or sprinkles to match holidays or party themes.
Ingredients
- 1 devil's food cake mix or other chocolate cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup shortening
- White frosting
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Add the cake mix, eggs, and shortening to a mixing bowl.
- Mix until a dough forms.
- Form the dough into balls.
- Place the dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 8 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely.
- Spread frosting on the flat side of one cookie.
- Top with another cookie to make a sandwich.
Create this same idea with cookie dough.
For Valentine's Day, I cut the baked cookies out with a heart shaped cookie cutter. Frosted the middle and topped with another heart shaped cookie to make a sandwich.
For other holidays cut out with a different shaped cookie cutter.Then save the extra cookie crumbs in a bag for the freezer. Later you can add them to brownie dough or for a topping for ice cream.
Variation: Roll the frosted edges in sprinkles, crushed candies, or mini chocolate chips.
