# What You Need:

→ Cookie Dough

01 - 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup vegetable oil

→ Coating

04 - 1.5 cups sanding sugar

→ Buttercream Filling

05 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1 pinch salt
07 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
08 - 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
09 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream
10 - 6 cups powdered sugar

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until a uniform dough forms.
02 - Scoop dough by tablespoons and roll each portion into a ball. Roll each ball in sanding sugar to coat completely.
03 - Place coated dough balls onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, until just set. Cool on a wire rack.
04 - In a stand mixer, cream the softened butter and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, almond extract, and heavy cream. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar, mixing on low until smooth and creamy.
05 - Pair cookies of similar size. Pipe or spread a generous layer of buttercream onto the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich gently with a second cookie.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For best results, allow cookies to cool fully before assembling to prevent the filling from melting.
