I absolutely love all things birthday cake-flavored. I am definitely not the person that says “it was good it was just really sweet.” Most likely I’d say “great can I have yours?” Which is why I always got the double doozies from Great American Cookie in the mall. I could eat way more than I’d like to admit. So I decided to come up with a homemade version, and I love the way these turned out!
I used a little bit of a variation of the regular cake-mix cookie recipe that I love. You start by mixing the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs in a bowl which is part of the standard cake mix cookie. I added in extra sprinkles, softened butter and MARSHMALLOW FLUFF. The fluff made these cookies so sweet and chewy!!! The confetti cake mix also has that very specific birthday cake taste which worked perfectly. Put the dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes so that it’s easier to work with. In the meantime you can make the frosting. It’s a classic vanilla buttercream made with butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. Cream the butter until smooth and then add in half of the powdered sugar. Once it’s smooth, add in the vanilla and water. Start with 1 tablespoon because we don’t want it to be too thin. It needs to hold up between the two cookies. Mix in the rest of the powdered sugar.
Remove the dough from the fridge. Prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small shallow bowl, pour the sanding sugar. You can use any colors- I used a mix of pink and blue. There are two different methods you can use to form these cookies. You can roll them into balls and then roll them into the bowl of sanding sugar. You can also scoop out them out by tablespoons and sprinkle them with the sugar once they are on the tray. I did both and they both came out pretty much the same, it’s just preference. Bake them for about ten minutes and then let them cool. When assembling the sandwiches, lay half of the cookies upside down and then spread or pipe a tablespoon of frosting onto each. Lightly press another cookie right-side-up to finish!
These cookies are great for birthday parties, kids events, or because it’s Friday. I’d love to hear if you try them out!
Ingredients
For the cookies:
1/4 cup colored sanding sugar
1 package confetti cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp sprinkles
3/4 cup marshmallow fluff
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 egg
For the frosting:
1 cup butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tbsp water *more if needed
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
For the cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Place the sanding sugar in a shallow bowl.
Melt the fluff in the microwave for about ten seconds. Just to make it slightly easier to mix.
Beat the cake mix, fluff, butter, oil, and egg in a large bowl with an electric mixer or use a standing mixer. Stir in the extra sprinkles.
Place the dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes so that it hardens up a bit.
Shape the dough into 1" balls and then roll them in the sanding sugar. Alternatively, you can also use a tablespoon and then place the sanding sugar on the dough after they are on the trays.
Place 2" apart on the prepared cookie sheets and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool on cookie sheets for about 2 minutes, then move to a rack to cool.
For the frosting:
In a large bowl, cream the butter into smooth.
Add 2 cups of the powdered sugar and continue to mix.
Add the vanilla extract and 1 tbsp of water. Mix until smooth.
Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix. If the frosting is too thick add 1 more tbsp of water. Make sure that it doesn't get too thin since we will be using it between two confetti cookies.
Assembly:
Lay one cookie down for the base. Pipe or spread frosting with a knife. I used a generous amount, but feel free to adjust the portion to your liking. The approximate amount for each is a tablespoon.
