Calories: 247kcal
Ingredients
- 1 box Devil's food cake mix Or chocolate cake mix
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 Eggs Large
- ⅓ cup Oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Granulated sugar For rolling cookie dough balls
- 1 cup Cherry pie filling
- 1 cup American buttercream frosting
- 1 cup Chocolate shreds
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix powder and baking powder.
- Add eggs, oil and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Scoop out small portions of the cookie dough and roll them into balls.
- Roll these cookie balls in a bowl of granulated sugar.
- Place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper.
- Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until they are firm along the edges.
- Note: When you remove the cookies from the oven, you will notice the indentations are not that deep anymore. Press the back of a wooden spoon or the round bottom of a measuring spoon into the center again. You must do this quickly before the cookies have a chance to cool down.
- When the cookies cool down completely, fill each cookie with some buttercream frosting. Leave some space on the top.
- Fill the remaining space with cherry pie filling.
- Top it all off chocolate shreds. Enjoy.
