Hostess Cupcake Cookies

 

Ingredients: 

1 chocolate cake mix

2 eggs

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup butter

2 1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

1 7 oz marshmallow cream

3/4 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 

Mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil until a dough forms. Scoop on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. 

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking pan for about 5 minutes. 

To make the frosting: Beat the butter until it is creamy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Fold in the marshmallow cream. Set aside about 1/2 cup for the swirl on top. 

Make the ganache. Pour the chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl. Put the cream on top of the chips. Heat in the microwave for 45 seconds. Let it sit for 1 minute and then whisk it until smooth. Let the ganache cool for about 10 minutes. 

Spoon the cream on top of the cookie. Chill the cookies in the refrigerator. 

Then put the ganache on top of the cream. Allow the ganache to set. 

Put the remaining cream in a plastic bag and pipe on top of the cookie.
