Ingredients
  

For the cookies
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet instant vanilla pudding mix ~3.5 ounces
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup sprinkles
  • 15-20 Golden Oreos crushed
For the cream cheese frosting
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup additional sprinkles for edges of cookie sandwiches if desired

Equipment

  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • measuring cups or spoons
  • silicone spatula
  • piping bag (or ziploc gallon bag)

Method
 

To make the cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper, set aside.
  3. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until smooth.
  4. Add in eggs and vanilla extract, beat until combined. Scrape down the bowl once complete.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, pudding mix, salt, baking soda).
  6. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in 2-3 portions, mixing well after each addition.
  7. Coarsely crush the Golden Oreos by placing them in a gallon bag and rolling them with a rolling pin. Add them to the dough and mix until combined.
  8. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to fold the sprinkles into the dough.
  9. Use a spoon or cookie dough scoop to measure and ball the cookie dough (if you are not using a cookie dough scoop, you should roll the dough into balls with your hands).
  10. Place balled cookie dough on to prepared cookie sheet, leaving at least 1 inch in between each cookie.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bottom just begins to brown (cookie edges should just barely brown before removing from the oven).
  12. Let the cookies rest for 5-10 minutes, then move them to a cooling rack and cool to room temperature before assembling the cookie sandwiches.
To make the cream cheese frosting
  1. Use a hand mixer to combine the softened cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth.
  2. Add vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  3. Add powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time. Mix well in between each addition.
  4. Add additional powdered sugar if needed for desired taste and consistency.
To assemble the cookie sandwiches
  1. Fill a piping bag or a gallon bag with the cream cheese frosting. Cut a ½-inch tip in the bag.
  2. Pipe a generous portion of frosting on the bottom side of one cookie. Pipe right up to the edge of the cookie.
  3. Add another cookie on top of the frosting to sandwich them together, pressing lightly.
  4. Roll the sides in additional sprinkles, if desired. Store at room temperature and enjoy within 1 week, or freeze them.
