Cookie sandwiches are one of my all-time favorite desserts. These are a combo of red velvet cake mix cookies and Oreo cream cheese buttercream. They are truly out of this world, and I love the flavor combo.
Fun Facts…
- I used cream cheese chips, but white chocolate chips would be great too
- I was given this cake mix cookie recipe over 15 years ago and still make it regularly
- I am extremely picky about cream cheese frosting…it can’t be too sweet or too tart and this one is just right to me
- If you don’t love the chocolate Oreo flavor, use golden Oreos or just make the regular cream cheese frosting recipe without any cookies
- The reason I refrigerate this dough is that sometimes they spread more than I’d like- the key is refrigerating them just a bit AND using a small cookie scoop
- The cookies don’t need to be overly hard or sturdy, just baked enough so they don’t break apart. I love soft cookies for cookie sandwiches
- These are the cream cheese chips that I used
- My favorite cookie scoops
- Precut parchment sheets found here

Red Velvet Oreo Cookie Sandwiches
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 c vegetable oil
- 1/2 c cream cheese baking chips (or white chocolate)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 c butter, softened
- 1 box (3 1/2 c) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 c crushed Oreos
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Fold in the cream cheese chips. Cover and refrigerate for at least a half hour.
- Preheat oven to 350. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, add the cookie dough to the sheets about 2″ apart. Bake for 12-16 minutes. Be sure to bake these all the way since they’re a softer cookie. Let them cool completely.
- To make the buttercream, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix. Add in the Oreos and mix until fully combined.
- Flip one cookie over and pipe or spread frosting on the cookie, covering the entire thing. Add a second cookie to the top. Repeat with remaining cookies.
- ***If you don’t like a lot of frosting in your cookie sandwiches, cut the frosting recipe in half.
