Notes
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
- The calories shown are based on the recipe making 22 cookie sandwiches, with 1 serving being 1 cookie sandwich. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information. **
- Although I usually use salted butter in baking, the cake mix already has a solid salt content, so I prefer unsalted butter in this recipe.
