Heart shaped strawberry flavored oreo cookies- perfect for Valentine's day!
Ingredients
1 package of strawberry cake mix
2 eggs
3/4 cup of shortening
Frosting:
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 stick of butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla
4 c. powdered sugar
Instructions
Mix together.
The dough will be pretty stiff-
it’s supposed to be that way. ;)
Roll into balls.
Place two next to each other.
Pinch the bottom to create a heart.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
Immediately transfer to a cooling rack.
When cookies are cool, frost them and then
sandwich them like an Oreo.
This will only make about 12-15 cookies total
depending on how big you make them.
For the frosting:
Mix cream cheese and 1/2 stick of softened butter. Add vanilla. Then slowly add in one cup of powered sugar at a time until creamy.
Spread onto cool cookies.
Sandwich together.
Notes
*NOTE: You can lessen the amount of powered sugar to your liking. You can start with 2 cups and add up to four. The amount you add changes the consistency and sweetness.
