The cookies could not be easier to make. All you need is a box of cake mix, with some oil and eggs. Mix it all together and bake.

Whip up some sweet filling, that is flavored and tinted a beautiful pink hue, with cherry juice!
Then we get to put it all together! All you need is a little heart shaped cookie cutter for the tops of the cookies, to create a sweet little cut-out shape.

Yield: 26-28 cookies, 13-14 sandwich cookies
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 box Devil's Food or Chocolate cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick/2oz.) salted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
- drop of pink food coloring, if desired
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, eggs and oil until combined. Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, and flatten into disks, at least 2 inches apart. Bake in preheated oven for about 9-11 minutes, or just until the cookies are set in the middle. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack, to cool completely.
To make the filling, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla and cherry juice, until desired consistency, flavor and color is reached. Increase to medium-high speed and beat for an additional 3-4 minutes until smooth, light and fluffy.
Using a small heart shaped cookie cutter, cut a heart out of the top of half of the cookies. place the other half of the cookies upside down on a plate and spread an even layer of frosting onto the bottom side of the completely cooled cookies. Gently press the heart cut-out cookies on top, and enjoy!
