  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour optional, if dough is too sticky
For the Filling:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until just combined. If the dough is too sticky, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time, until it’s easy to handle.

  2. Shape the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  3. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  4. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
    1/2 cup unsalted butter
  6. Add Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined.
    2 cups powdered sugar
  7. Add Milk: Add the milk or cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the filling reaches your desired consistency.
    2-3 tablespoons milk or cream
  8. Assemble: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of filling onto the bottom of one cookie and top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
  9. Serve: Enjoy your Soft Strawberry Cake Mix Sandwich Cookies immediately, or store them in an airtight container for later.
