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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil until a soft dough forms. Using a medium scoop, drop dough balls onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set; cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  4. Make the frosting by beating butter until creamy, then adding powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt; fold in vegan marshmallow crème until fluffy.
  5. For the ganache, microwave heavy cream over chocolate chips for about 45 seconds; whisk until smooth and let cool slightly.
  6. Frost each cooled cookie generously with frosting and chill for about 10 minutes before topping with ganache.
  7. Pipe reserved frosting squiggles on top for decoration.
