Ingredients
  

1 box strawberry cake mix

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves

Optional: fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened butter and strawberry cake mix until crumbly. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until a soft dough forms.

      Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

        Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just set but still soft. They should be pale pink, not browned. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

          Prepare the Filling: While the cookies cool, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and strawberry jam until well combined.

            Assemble the Cookies: Once the cookies are cool, take one cookie, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling on the bottom, and top it with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat for all cookies.

              Dust with Sugar (Optional): Dust the assembled cookies with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.

                Serve and Enjoy: If desired, garnish with fresh strawberries before serving for an extra touch. Enjoy your delightful Soft Strawberry Cake Mix Sandwich Cookies!
