funfetti sandwich cookies.

I have had a growing urge to start a blog that represents DIY projects that inspire me enough to give them a try. These Funfetti Sandwich Cookies seemed to be the perfect start to the blog. I know there is nothing too fancy about Funfetti but my husband would prefer Funfetti cupcakes over any other fancy cupcake (lucky me I guess). Like most of us these days, I am finding great inspiration from Pinterest, which is where I found this yummy recipe.

Funfetti Sandwich Cookies

recipe from Baked Perfection

makes about 16-18 or 24 mini

Items needed:

- Baking sheets

- Parchment paper

- Rainbow sprinkles

- 1 jar (15.6oz) of Funfetti frosting

(you can choose another flavor or make your own)

- 1 (18.9 oz) package Funfetti Cake mix

- 2 eggs

- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (I used Canola oil)

- 2 tablespoons of milk

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour cake mix into large bowl; stir in oil, eggs, milk and vanilla extract until combined. This works best if you use an electric mixer (or your hands). I tried using a hand whisk, since that is what I use in France, but the dough got stuck in the whisk. Drop teaspoons of dough onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Bake 7-10 minutes (depending on size) in the oven. Bake until the bottoms are light brown. Move cookies to cooling rack, cool completely before assembling.

Frost bottom side of half the cookies. Top with unfrosted cooke. Roll edges in assorted sprinkles.

*Notes:

1. For esthetic reasons: smooth the edges of the dough with your fingers before baking, otherwise they do not lay as nicely.

2. Before frosting the cookies, I paired up cookies of similar sizes and shapes for a cleaner and more presentable look.

The cookies cool quite fast, which enabled me to do all of this within an hour. These cookies were easy, fun and look cute. They pack a sugary punch... so pace yourself. Enjoy!
