Red Velvet Oreos

Cookies

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix 1 box red velvet cake mix, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs, on medium speed until combined.
3. Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. The middle will look underbaked, but that’s okay! They will continue baking as they cool on the tray. Let them cool on the tray for 4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Cream Cheese Filling

1. Add 4 ounces cream cheese, and ¼ cup salted butter, to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until combined.
2. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and add ½ teaspoon vanilla, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon milk.
3. Mix on low speed until the sugar is mostly absorbed before increasing the speed to medium. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
4. Spread or pipe a tablespoon of frosting onto the bottom of one cookie, then sandwich another cookie on top. Pressing just enough for the filling to meet the edge of the cookies. Repeat with the remaining cookies. You should end up with 18 completed sandwich cookies.
