Servings: 12 Cookie Sandwiches
Calories: 350kcal
Ingredients
- 1 box carrot cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup oil
For the frosting:
- 4 ounces cream cheese or neufchatel softened
- 4 tablespoons butter half stick, softened
- 1 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or a silpat. Beat together the cake mix, eggs, and oil. The batter will be stiff.
- Take rounded teaspoons of the dough, roll into balls, and place on cookie sheets. Press them down with your palm or the bottom of a glass so they are a little flattened.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow to set up on the pan for a couple minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- While the cookies are baking, beat together the cream cheese and butter. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
- To assemble, spread about a tablespoon of frosting on half the cookies, then top with the remaining cookies. Store in a sealed container in the fridge. Unless you are planning on eating all of them right away. Don’t worry. No one is judging you.
