Tailgater Sandwich Cookies
From krumkake 16 years agoIngredients
- Cookies: shopping list
- 1 package Moist Supreme Dark chocolate cake mix shopping list
- ½ cup melted butter shopping list
- 1 egg, slightly beaten shopping list
- Filling: shopping list
- 1 can Whipped Fluffy white frosting (it must be the Whipped Fluffy kind) shopping list
- Top cookie chocolate frosting: shopping list
- 3 cups powdered sugar shopping list
- 6 tablespoons melted butter shopping list
- 1/3 cup or more of cocoa (depending on how "chocolate-y you like it) shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
- about 4 tablespoons half-and-half, to make it spreadable shopping list
How to make it
- Beat egg, by hand, in a large bowl.
- Stir in cake mix and melted butter (batter will be very stiff)
- Roll into 1" balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet; flatten each ball with your fingertips
- QUICK TIP: I have found that I can make these balls in no time if I pack the batter into a 1 1/8” diameter melon baller to form flat bottomed balls; hit melon baller on counter to release dough, place ball on cookie sheet and flatten with bottom of water glass...so fast!
- Bake at 350 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes...do not overbake - you want them barely crispy around the edges but soft and gooey in the center.
- Cool cookies completely, then match them up in pairs before starting the filling and frosting process.
- When cookies are all paired up, FROST THE BOTTOM of a cookie with about a tablespoon of whipped frosting (be sure to use the whipped frosting, so the filling is fluffy and light).
- FROST THE TOP of the second cookie with the chocolate frosting, then sandwich them together, with the white fluffy filling in the middle.
- Lay them on some waxed paper to allow the frosting to set up.
- Continue until all cookies are frosted and “sandwiched” together.
- For the chocolate frosting, mix all ingredients together with a mixer.
- Add enough half-and-half to make the frosting easily spreadable. The "creamy-ness" of this frosting comes from the half-and-half, so water or milk won't make it as creamy. If you can manage it, don't substitute!
see how thick dough is, you can actually knead in any bits of cake mix that weren't incorporated into the dough when mixed by hand
