What You Need for Easy Double Doozy Cookies

For the Cookies:

• 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

How to Make Easy Double Doozy Cookies

Step 1: Make the Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly underdone. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Filling

1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.
3. Add the vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream or milk. Beat until fluffy, adding more cream or milk as needed to reach the desired consistency.

Step 3: Assemble the Cookies

1. Pair the cooled cookies by size.
2. Pipe or spread the buttercream onto the flat side of one cookie.
3. Top with a second cookie, pressing gently to sandwich them together.

Tips for Easy Double Doozy Cookies

1. Chill the Dough: If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before baking.
2. Uniform Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to ensure all cookies are the same size for even sandwiches.

Substitutions and Variations

• Different Cookies: Use chocolate chip, sugar, red velvet, or snickerdoodle cookies as the base.
• Flavor the Filling: Add cocoa powder, crushed Oreos, or a dash of peppermint extract to the buttercream.
• Dairy-Free: Use plant-based butter and milk alternatives.

Make a Healthier Version

• Lower Sugar: Use a sugar-free cake mix and powdered sugar substitute.
• Lighten the Filling: Replace some of the butter with cream cheese for a tangy, lighter option.
• Whole-Grain Option: Choose whole-grain flour or cake mix for added fiber.
