Chocolate Cookies with Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter Frosting

 

I made these on a whim the other day cause we had some other kids over. What would a play date be with out cookies?


Well, then there was the fact that Juliette didn’t have a friend over so she was left with no one to play with except Christian and he was being a grouch. So I bribed her to leave the big boys alone by asking her to help me make cookies.


I find I can usually pacify her with baking.


Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIE:

2 whole Large Eggs

½ cups Vegetable Oil

¼ cups All-purpose Flour

1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix, 18.25 Oz


FOR THE FROSTING:

4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, softened

¾ cups Smooth Peanut Butter

1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

2-½ cups Powdered Sugar

3 Tablespoons Milk

Preparation Instructions

For the cookies:

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly whisk eggs and oil in a medium bowl. Mix in flour and cake mix until well blended. Roll into 1 inch balls and bake for 8-10 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. Cool completely on a wire rack.

For the frosting:

In a medium bowl cream together cream cheese, peanut butter and vanilla. Add in powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add in milk a little at a time until you get the desired consistency.

Spread about 2 Tablespoons of frosting onto the bottom of one cookie and then place another cookie on top, bottom sides facing in. Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting.
