Ingredients
  

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • optional: red or pink food coloring
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until a soft dough forms. Add a few drops of food coloring if desired for a brighter pink color.
  • Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. Do not overbake.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  • Add heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the filling is spreadable but not runny.
  • Spread a layer of cream filling on the flat side of one cookie. Press another cookie on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
