  • 24 chocolate cookies
  • 1 cup (280g) chocolate icing
  • 24 candy eyes

Ingredients for baking method;

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup (78ml) oil
  • ½ cup (120g) flour
  • 1 cup (280g) chocolate icing
  • 24 candy eyes

Instructions

Instructions for no bake method;

  • Lay 24 cookies out on a tray.
  • Pipe icing onto one cookie and place a second cookie on top to create your cookie sandwich. Repeat until all done.
  • Stick 2 candy eyeballs on the icing of each cookie sandwich and serve.

Instructions for baking method;

  • Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C / gas 4 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and flour into a thick batter.
  • Shape dough into balls and place on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cookies have cracks in the top.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and let cool fully on a cooling rack.
  • Pipe icing onto one cookie and place a second cookie on top to create your cookie sandwich. Repeat until all done.
  • Stick 2 eyeballs on the icing of each cookie sandwich and serve.

Notes

  • Place your cookie sandwiches in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to firm up the icing. This stops it from oozing out when eating.
  • You don't need to pipe, you can just spread the icing but it will not look as neat. That's okay though.
  • Feel free to double up the icing for a luxurious cookie.
  • For fun, you could cut out shapes like stars, etc. from the cookie dough before baking.
