Indulge your sweet tooth with these delightful Hostess Cupcake Cookies, a nostalgic treat that brings together the soft, chocolatey goodness of cookies topped with fluffy vegan marshmallow frosting and rich chocolate ganache.

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
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the Devil's Food cake mix, eggs, and oil until combined into a soft dough. Using a medium scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  4. For the frosting, beat room temperature butter until creamy, then add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt; mix well. Fold in vegan marshmallow crème and reserve some for decoration later.
  5. To make the ganache, combine heavy cream and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 45 seconds; whisk until smooth and let cool slightly.
  6. Frost each cooled cookie with the marshmallow frosting, chill for about 10 minutes to set.
  7. Drizzle cooled ganache over each cookie and let it set before decorating with reserved frosting.
