Ingredients

Cookies

1 box red velvet cake mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
⅓ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs, room temperature

Cream Cheese Filling

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup salted butter, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, baking powder, oil, and eggs on medium speed until combined.
Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set. The middle will look underbaked, but that’s okay! They will continue baking as they cool on the tray. Let them cool on the tray for 4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Cream Cheese Filling

Add the cream cheese and butter to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until combined.
Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and add the vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk.
Mix on low speed until the sugar is mostly absorbed before increasing the speed to medium. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
Spread or pipe a tablespoon of frosting onto the bottom of one cookie then sandwich another cookie on top. Pressing just enough for the filling to meet the edge of the cookies. Repeat with the remaining cookies. You should end up with 18 completed sandwich cookies.
