This weekend my Aunt DH asked me to make some "reverse oreo" cookies-Yellow cookies with chocolate frosting in the middle. Um...ok...I have never done this before...so of course I headed to Pinterest. I found a few good options that were about the same with slight variations and decided to give it a try.
Let's be honest, I don't always have the stuff in my pantry to make cookies from scratch. but I almost always have a cake mix! Here's what I ended up doing--and it was SOOOO easy! No amazing baking skills required. ;)
What you will need:
Mixing bowl
Spoon, whisk, or mixer
1" cookie scoop (or spoons)
2 cake mixes (In this case I used yellow)
4 eggs
3/4 cup olive oil (or coconut oil)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*.
In the mixing bowl, mix ingredients together. Using the cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll with hands into balls. (12/cookie sheet)
Bake for 7-8 minutes. Cool on pan for several minutes before transferring to a cookie rack. Be sure to allow the cookies to completely cool or they will fall apart while frosting. Frost between two cookies (sandwich style).
Voíla! Beautiful and delicious reverse oreo cookies. :D
Think of all the possibilities! Using this easy method, you can have a colorful array of delicious cookies that look amazing.
Happy Baking!
