These Strawberry Chocolate Chip Oreos have a bright strawberry flavor with dots of chocolate throughout that are reminiscent of a chocolate covered strawberry. The center is filled with a cream cheese frosting that makes these cookies a real treat.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil with a mixer. Fold in the chocolate chips. The batter will be stiff.
Roll into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. The cookies will spread while baking.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until a slight indentation remains when lightly touched. Do not overbake. If you overbake them they will brown and the pretty pink color will go away. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before cooling completely on a wire rack.
For the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter until completely blended. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until the frosting is smooth. Spread half of the cookies with icing and top with remaining cookies. Roll in sprinkles if desired.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or resealable plastic bags. I like to serve mine cold but sitting at room temperature for a while.
Makes about 18-24 cookies depending how big you make your cookies.
