- 12 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 1 ½ cups (180 g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat: Set oven to 350F (175C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for uniform heat distribution.
- Mix Base: Blend strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop uniform dough portions and roll into perfect spheres, placing them strategically on prepared baking sheets with ample spacing.
- Bake Precisely: Position sheets in preheated oven, monitoring for 8-10 minutes until edges set and surfaces appear slightly puffy while maintaining a tender core.
- Rest and Cool: Allow cookies to settle on baking sheets for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Assemble Sandwich: Once fully cooled, match similar-sized cookies and layer with desired filling or frosting to create delectable sandwich cookies.
Notes
- Prevent Dry Cookies: Carefully measure cake mix and avoid overmixing to maintain moisture and soft texture.
- Uniform Baking Technique: Use a cookie scoop for consistent size, ensuring even baking and professional-looking cookies.
- Temperature Control: Remove cookies when edges are set but centers remain slightly soft to preserve their delicate, tender consistency.
- Filling Selection: Choose creamy fillings like cream cheese frosting or buttercream that complement the strawberry flavor and enhance overall sweetness.
