Ingredients

Chocolate Cookies:
  • 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Coconut Cream Filling:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ teaspoons coconut extract
  • 3-4 cups powdered sugar
  • Shredded coconut for decoration

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift cake mix into a large bowl to remove any lumps.
  3. Whisk in the eggs, butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract and stir until combined well.
  4. Scoop out 1 ½ teaspoons of dough, and place on the cookie sheets 2 inches apart from each other. Gently pat down the cookies a little bit so they don’t bake too tall.
  5. Bake for 7-12 minutes, depending on how fudgey or cakey you like your cookies.
Filling:
  1. With a hand mixer, whisk together the cream cheese and butter for 2 minutes. Add coconut extract, and slowly add powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
  2. To assemble, take one cookie and frost the flat side with the filling, take an unfrosted cookie, and sandwich the filling.
  3. Roll the exposed edges in shredded coconut for added decoration.
