Halloween Sprinkle Cookie Sandwiches
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of Halloween Funfetti Cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 c vegetable oil
- Halloween Nonpareils
- Funfetti Black frosting (omit if you can’t find it or don’t want to use black)
- 1 stick of butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1–2 tbsp heavy cream
- orange food coloring
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a small cookie scoop (or about 1 heaping tbsp of dough) add scoops of the dough into a bowl of nonpareils, making sure to cover them on all sides. *Note these cookies are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside!- if you want less crunch only add a little bit of nonpareils.
- Arrange the scoops onto the prepared baking sheets about 2″ apart. Bake for 11 minutes or until lightly golden and let them cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the orange frosting. Beat the butter until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla, cream, and orange food coloring. Mix until fully combined. *Note if you’re only using orange frosting you should double the recipe.
- Place the black frosting and orange frosting into two separate piping bags. Cut a small hole at the bottom of each so you can pipe the frosting.
- Flip half of the cooled cookies over and pipe a black circle of frosting into the center of half of the cookies. Add an orange swirl around the black, creating a “bullseye” effect. Add a second cookie on top to create a sandwich.
- Repeat with the rest of the cookies and serve.
