Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) box Devil's Food cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (7 ounce) jar vegan marshmallow creme
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs, and oil until a soft dough forms. Drop rounded scoops onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  4. To make the frosting, beat room temperature butter until creamy; add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Fold in vegan marshmallow creme and set aside some for decoration.
  5. For ganache, heat heavy cream over chocolate chips in the microwave for 45 seconds; stir until smooth and allow to cool.
  6. Frost cooled cookies with the frosting, chill briefly in the fridge, then drizzle with ganache and finish with decorative piping.
