Preparation
Step 1
Beat cookie ingredients together with an electric mixer until combined.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll into small one or two tablespoon balls. Place on a baking sheet. (Chill the dough for about 30 minutes if it’s too soft to roll.)
Step 3
Bake for 8 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
Step 4
Beat frosting ingredients together with an electric mixer. Using a plastic bag with the end cut off, or a pastry bag, pipe a swirl of frosting onto one cookie and gently press a same-size cookie on top. Voila! Store in the refrigerator – or on your cold porch if you live in Minnesota!

Chef's notes
You can serve these at room temperature for a softer cookie or straight from the fridge for a more dense cookie.
Any brand of boxed chocolate cake mix should work as a substitute.
The cookies will freeze well, but we’d recommend making the frosting fresh.
