- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions
Barbie Pink Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, oil, and eggs until smooth.
- Add a few drops of pink food coloring, if using.
- Scoop dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until set at the edges. Let cool completely.
Ocean Blue Cookies
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir until dough forms.
- Tint the dough with blue food coloring to your desired shade.
- Scoop and bake the same way as the pink cookies. Let cool before assembling.
Sweet Vanilla Frosting
- Beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth.
- Gradually mix in powdered sugar, then add heavy cream and vanilla.
- Beat on high speed for 2–3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
To Assemble
- Spread or pipe a swirl of vanilla frosting onto the flat side of each blue cookie.
- Top with a pink cookie to create a sandwich.
- If you like a little sparkle, roll the edges in sanding sugar.
- Repeat with the remaining cookies.
