Homemade Fudgee-O Cookies

It’s no secret at all that I adore chocolate cookies. And these homemade Fudgee-Os just might be a new favorite. They’re chewy, extra soft and even a little bit cakey. And with 2 cookies AND chocolate icing you really can’t go wrong.

In the last couple months I’ve been experimenting around with cake mix cookies quite a bit. First I made these strawberry cookies, and then these lemon white chocolate chip cookies – and it turns out that everyone loved how delicious and easy the recipes are. 

So I figured it was time to another easy cake mix cookie recipe. But this time, we’re bringing out the big guns with a dose of double chocolate.

How to Make Homemade Fudgee-O Cookies

Making these chocolate sandwich cookies at home is super easy. Here’s the details.

1. First, beat together the oil and 2 eggs.
2. Then mix in a box of Devil’s food cake.
3. Form the dough into balls (I recommend using a cookie scoop so they’re all the same size) and place on a lined cookie sheet.
4. Then flatten them down slightly, and make a little indent in the middle. I found that if I skip this step they can get too puffy.
5. Then bake for 7-8 minutes

Here’s what I mean about making the little indent in the middle:

You can use other varieties of chocolate cake mix – but I find Devil’s food cake has the most chocolate-y flavor.

Then the chocolate frosting is extra creamy and super easy to make.

1. In a saucepan melt together the butter and cocoa powder.
2. Allow it to cool slightly.
3. Then beat in the powdered sugar followed by a little milk or cream.

After that – it’s time to get sandwiching. From start to finish you can make these chocolate sandwich cookies in about 45 minutes, and you end up with super delicious extra chocolate-y cookies that no one can resist.

I so love that these cookies are soft and chewy instead of dry and crispy. And if you like your cookies a little bit cake-y and maybe even a little bit gooey, then these homemade Fudgee-Os are definitely for you.
