I made these ridiculously cute cake mix cookie pies last night for Blake to take to work today and they turned out much better than I expected so I had to share the recipe with y'all!
First this is what you'll need:
1 box of strawberry cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 package of milk chocolate M&MS
1 package of cheesecake pudding mix
1 tub of whipped cream
This recipe yeild about 13-15 cookies
I also made some with yellow cake mix that turned out just as cute! If you decide to do both, use the same recipie just substitute strawberry cake mix for yellow :)
First you'll need to make the cake mix cookies. Here's what you do:
Combine cake mix, 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of oil in a large bowl and mix until smooth.
Then add in as many m&ms as you'd like. This is where it gets fun! I have to say, I did not measure this at all. I just had Blake pour some in until I said stop :)
Put some vegatable oil on your hands (just a few drops) then roll the mix into a ball and place on the cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
The cookies will need to be completely cool before you add the filling.
Next, for the filling, you will need to follow the directions on the pudding mix box and let that sit for 5 minutes. Then fold in the whipped cream until combined.
This combo of whipped cream and cheesecake pudding is seriously so good. I could've just ate it straight out of the bowl. And maybe I did :)
Once your cookies are completely cooled, then you'll sparingly add the whipped cream/pudding mixture to the bottom of one cookie and spread around until it covers the bottom of the cookie.
You won't want to add too much because once you place the other cookie on top, it will spill out of the sides.
It should look about like this!
Next you'll just place another cookie on top of the whipped cream/pudding mixture and you're finished. Here's what the finished product looks like!
Please ignore my chipped nail polish and half eaten cookie :)
How cute are they?? I couldn't get over it. These work best if you make them the night before and let them chill in the fridge overnight!
I hope y'all will give it a try and let me know how your Cake Mix Cookie Pies turn out!
