Ingredient and Equipment Notes
Chocolate Cake Mix – I always make this recipe with Duncan Hines brand devil’s food cake mix. You are welcome to use another brand of chocolate or devil’s food cake mix. It will most likely turn out just fine, but for best results you may want to use the same brand I do. Butter – This recipe can be made with butter flavored shortening as well as vegetable oil in place of the butter. You may have slightly different results so feel free to try different options to see what you like best.
Instructions
You can break pieces off, go at it with two hands, slice into wedges like a pizza, or into squares like I have here. Since this is a sandwich cookie it’s extra rich and can really feed a crowd! But only if you want it to. No one has to know this isn’t meant to be a single-serving. Can I make this with a different cake mix flavor? Yes! This basic recipe for cake mix cookies works well with a variety of flavors. Feel free to mix and match cake mixes and frosting flavors for fun combinations. Can I freeze this cookie? Yes. Freeze the cookies before filling by layering between sheets of parchment paper and sealing well. Or, freeze entire cookie, filled. To serve- let cookie come to room temperature (or don’t- it’s actually really good straight out of the freezer haha)
