Ultimate Cake Mix Oreos, because Oreos are really the answer to any problem. So how did I make them even better? I gave them a cookies & cream filling and some mini chocolate chips!
I actually made whoopie pies for a wedding about a month ago and I was shocked how fast they went! The kids, the dads, the bridesmaids… everyone loved them! Plus, they’re awesome because you can make them the day before and pop them in the fridge (in a tupperware) to set-up overnight! So you don’t have to stress the day of the event about making treats 🙂
The Story:
My father is the hardest working and the funniest man I know. Great combo, right? Long nights, early mornings, no vacations, and tons of stress just so that he can give me everything I have ever dreamed of and more. And the “funny” parts of my dear father? Brace yourself for this.
He is a man who shuns technology. Does he have an iPhone? Yes, but only because his work makes him use it. Does he have my phone number saved in his phone? Of course not. It’s safely written on a notecard kept in his front pocket. Does this man use GPS? Never. He just pulls out a huge map and charts out where he wants to go.
His wardrobe? I have never seen the man in jeans. But a blue button up shirt? Oh, this man has at least 17 in the same exact shade and style. He knows what he likes and he’s sticking with it! And how many blue button ups do I have?

Ultimate Cake Mix Oreos
Ingredients
Cake Mix Cookies:
- 1 Box Devil's Food Cake Mix I prefer the Pillsbury mixes
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Oreo Filling:
- 6 oz. cream cheese
- 6 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-3 cups powdered sugar
- 8 Oreos finely crushed in a food processor
Instructions
-
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with parchment paper.
-
2. Combine cake mix, eggs, oil and brown sugar. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Batter will be thick.
-
3. Place small dough balls (about the size of 2 teaspoons) on cookie sheets 3 inches apart. Use your fingers to gently press the dough balls down to make them look like little "disks" rather than mounds of dough. Cake mix cookies tend to bake up tall, so we flatten them a little.
-
4. Bake for 6-9 minutes depending on how fudge-y or cake-y you want them to be.
-
5. Remove from pans and let cool.
-
6. Oreo Filling: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract and slowly add in powdered sugar until your reach your desired consistency. Fold in crushed Oreos. (I like to sift my crushed Oreos to make sure I don't accidentally put in a large chunk of cookie.)
-
7. Frost the bottoms of half the cookies, then take the unfrosted cookies and place them on top to "sandwich" them together!
-
NOTES:
-
Note: Place in a tupperware and let set in the fridge. This stiffens the filling so that when you bite into them, the frosting doesn't gush out the sides. They taste DIVINE after being in the fridge for at least 20 minutes
Mmm… Gorgeous and heavenly.
Some cake mixes, like Pillsbury (my favorite to use), bakes up really tall. So I have to pat the dough balls down just a bit before baking so that they don’t bake up too high! You also can just bake them and then if they are too tall press them down right as they come out of the oven! (I stole these photos from my Original Home Made Oreo Recipe so they don’t have chocolate chips in the cookie dough, but you get the idea…)
Happy Father’s Day everyone!
Happy Father’s Day! These look delightful – I can’t wait to try them!
These look good – I went to Trader Joe’s 140 miles away to get some things like the freeze-dried strawberries you used in a frosting recipe and saw they have their own brand of Oreo type cookies….they’re made without HFCS, unlike Oreos, so now I can make this recipe! (I refuse to eat that stuff if I can help it…)
These look killer!! And I love hearing about your dad. So cute 🙂
How funny that this was your post on Father’s Day! I had no idea! I actually made the whoopie pies because I had seen your guest post on another blog. Great minds think alike!! =) I am the one that tagged you on instagram. I loved these. They were so good and I will definitly be making them again and again. Happy Father’s Day to your Dad! 🙂
Oh those puffy cookie clouds with that creamy filling look like am awesome combo! I just want to sink my teeth into one of those through the screen!
Hey Lizzy! I’m thinking of making some similar to this but for someone who doesn’t like chocolate as much. Can I follow the same instructions for the cookies with any cake mix?
Thanks Jessica.

Absolutely one of my favorite desserts. I can’t stop eating them. Make sure you “fold” the crushed Oreos into the butter-cream cheese mixture as directed. If you try to use the beaters it will turn the filling gray. Tastes the same, but looks awful.
I’m completing my advanced degree and I can say that the main ideal choice during the time spent contemplating was to do my probability homework and not invest energy composing all alone. The central thing in this is to find truly qualified journalists from a web-based assistance, which I did.
According to Forbes, these basic principles were applied when Apple made iPhone ringtones. And many sources said that Steve Jobs did not like Nokia ringtones and he wanted more perfect ringtones for the iPhone. At that time, Apple had to choose between two choices, take time to sign with record labels, or release a product with many different ringtones. And that’s why the 25-style ringtone set was on the first iPhone.
The remix of the iphone beltonen gratis ringtone caused a fever for a while. Did you know, the person who made the first 25 iPhone ringtones (including Marimba) was Dr. Gerhard Lengeling, is an audio expert in Apple software. Read this far, you understand why Marimba was chosen as the default iPhone ringtone.
It’s just incredible, every time your recipes blow my mind, I cook them every time for my children and my husband, they are just delighted, I am very happy that I came across you. It’s very funny that every time I cook in the kitchen, the nutcracker vector standing in our kitchen changes, it makes me so happy, I imagine he also wants to join us at the table to visit this deliciousness.
