Instructions

1. 1

   --- Cookies ---

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 350℉. Beat cake mix, oil or shortening, and eggs together until well combined. Use a cookie scoop to scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough into a balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until just barely set but still soft. Let your cookies cool completely and then pop them in the freezer for a bit to help them firm up. This way, they won’t fall apart when you’re smashing your sandwiches together.

4. 4

   Take your cookies and optionally place a small spoonful of jarred caramel sauce half the cookies. Don’t spread it around. It will spread on its own when you smash the cookie together.

5. 5

   Use a cookie scooper to get nice, even sized ice cream scoops. Place a scoop on one cookie then place another cookie on top (you can caramel both sides, or just one- up to you) and gently press together.

6. 6

   Place on a plate/cookie sheet/whatever in a single layer and place in the freezer immediately. If you’re making a bunch of sandwiches, put them in the freezer as you go so they don’t melt on your counter! Wait until they harden completely (overnight) before putting them in an air tight container or Ziplock bag.

7. 7

   When you want to eat them, just let them sit at room temp for about 5 minutes to let them soften a bit and they’ll be perfect!
