Ingredients
  

1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Fresh strawberries, sliced (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, softened butter, egg, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until well blended. The dough will be thick.

      Add Flour and Chocolate Chips: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture for a softer texture. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips to enhance the sweetness and flavor.

        Shape the Cookies: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart as they will spread.

          Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers may still look soft; this is okay as they will firm up while cooling.

            Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Make the Frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Adjust the thickness by adding more milk for a thinner consistency or more powdered sugar for a thicker consistency.

                Assemble the Sandwich Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread about 1-2 teaspoons of frosting on the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

                  Garnish (Optional): For a fresh touch, you can add a slice of fresh strawberry on top of each cookie sandwich.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve the soft strawberry cake mix sandwich cookies immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy the delightful cookie experience!
