- 1 Milk Chocolate Cake Mix
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
Orange Buttercream Filling
- ½ cup butter softened
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1½ teaspoons orange extract
- red and yellow food coloring (optional- I just added a little bit to give it an orange color)
Ganache Chocolate Layer
- 2¼ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup butter
Mix all ingredients together. Roll into 1-1.5" balls. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and let them cool.
Mix all ingredients together and spread a generous amount on each chocolate cake mix cookie.
Melt chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler or in the microwave (I just microwaved it for 60 seconds and stirred, then microwaved for another 30 seconds and stirred again until it was smooth). Spread over the orange frosted cookies.
- Put the cookies in the fridge if you want the Ganache to harden quickly
