Frequently asked questions about sandwich cookies.
Sandwich cookies are three layered cookies featuring two cookies on the outer layers and a creamy filling in the center layer. The outer cookie layers are first baked and then the cookies are then assembled in layers.
The biggest secret to making sandwich cookies is to make sure that the outer layers are crisp enough to hold the creamy center layer so that the center layer can hold the cookies together. Allowing the outer cookie layers to fully cool and having the creamy center layer at a good consistency is essential.
While the popularity of sandwich cookies may be a subject to opinion, there are reasons why folks enjoy eating them.
Sandwich cookies are popular because:
They offer a variety of flavors and textures.
Sandwich cookies can be 'fun' to eat, often bringing adults back to their childhood.
These cookies can be personalized by using center fillings such as ice cream.
Tips for making sugar free strawberry cake mix cookies.
Sugar free strawberry jam is used to flavor the center filling in these cookies. You can make your own Sugar Free Strawberry Jam using this recipe or purchase sugar free strawberry jam here.
More helpful tips for you.
- The strawberry flavoring for the cookies comes from sugar free strawberry jello. You can find sugar free strawberry jello here.
- While my cookies are made with strawberries, you can really use any flavor of your choice. Simply change up the jam and jello as needed.
- The center filling layer in these cookies is intended to be a thick layer to complement the outer cookies. You can however use less filling if you prefer a thinner filling.
- Because these are sandwich cookies, it is a good idea to have the cookies similar in size and shape. Using a cookie scoop to scoop out similar sized cookies is one way to make these look more uniform.
- The cookies need to be crisp enough to hold the moisture from the filling. For this reason, when you take the cookies out of the oven, allow them to cool on the baking sheet before transferring them.
How to store this tasty Strawberry Dessert.
These cookies should be stored in an airtight container. If properly stored, they should keep up to five days refrigerated or up to a few months frozen.

Ingredients needed to make Sugar Free Strawberry Sandwich Cookies
The ingredients needed to make strawberry cake mix cookies.
- Sugar Free Cake Mix. Use a yellow or light colored cake mix. You will need just the dry cake mix and not the other ingredients for this cookie recipe.
- Sugar Free Strawberry Jello. Again, you will need just the dry mix and not the other ingredients.

How to make Sugar Free Strawberry Sandwich Cookies
Serving : 10 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Chill time: 1 hour
Cook time: 10 minutes
- In small bowl, empty out both the cake mix and the jello. Use a fork to blend the mixes together.
- Next, in a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Then beat in the blended mixes from the last step. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Cover the mixed cookie batter and place it into your refrigerator to set for at least an hour (or up to two days).
- When you are ready to bake the cookies, preheat your oven to 350 and prep two baking sheets for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper for a recipe such as this one.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the cookies and place them on to the baking sheets about two inches apart from one another.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges seem to be set. Then take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets .
- To make the filling, simple beat together the ingredients until creamy. You may need to make adjustments in the ingredients as needed to get your desired consistency. Then use a piping bag or zip top bag with a cut corner to apply the filling to the insides of half of the cookies. Place the inside of a second cookie over or facing the filling to make a sandwich. You can place the finished cookies in your refrigerator to help them fully set.
Expert Tip 👉 It is best to allow the outer cookies to fully cool before assembling these cookies. If the cookies are not allowed to fully cool you risk the possibility of the filling melting.
