Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 teaspoons vanilla optional

Instructions
For The Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350f and prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment or silicone liner - set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine 2 boxes Devil's Food Chocolate Cake mix, 4 large eggs, and 1 cup vegetable oil. Mix until well combined. If mixing by hand, use a large bowl, whisk the eggs and then add the oil. Whisk the eggs and oil well to combine. Add the cake mix, and mix until well combined and smooth.
- Use a #40 cookie dough scoop, or portion the dough in 1.5 tbsp size balls. Roll them, then flatten the balls slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350F.
- Remove the cookies from the baking rack while they are still warm, and place on a wire rack to cool.
For The Icing:
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 8 oz cream cheese, 1 teaspoons vanilla, 1 tablespoons softened butter, and 2 cups icing sugar.
- Beat well, scraping the sides of the bowl down a couple of times, until completely smooth.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, pipe the icing on the bottom of one cookie and top with another bottom side down!
