Ingredients

Cookie Cups

  • 1 (16.5 oz) white cake mix
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs

Creamy Vanilla Filling

  • 1/4 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 oz cool whip thawed

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 cups strawberries diced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a mini muffin tin with non stick spray. Set aside.
  • Combine the white cake mix, oil and eggs. Mix until the cookie dough forms. It will be very soft and sticky.
  • Separate the dough evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin.
  • Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies just start turning brown.
  • Immediately after removing from the oven, use the back of your teaspoon measuring spoon to push down in the center of the cookies creating the 'cup'.
  • Once all of the cookies have been pressed and made into a cup, set aside and let them cool completely.
  • While the cookies are cooling, make the creamy vanilla filling. 
  • Combine the butter, milk, powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix until creamy and smooth. 
  • Add the cool whip, mix thoroughly. 
  • Either pipe or spoon the filling into the cooled cookie cups. 
  • Right before serving, top with the diced strawberries.
  • Store in the fridge.
