Servings 24 cookies

Ingredients
 

Cookies:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (canola works too)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Gender Reveal Frosting Filling:

  • ¼ cup butter (softened)
  • ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. milk
  • pink or blue food coloring

Chocolate Topping:

  • 1 ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Tbsp. butter or oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well with a rubber spatula. Form dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat. Bake for about 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes then using a teaspoon measuring spoon make an indentation in each cookie in the middle.

For Frosting:

  • Beat the butter at medium-high speed in a stand mixer (or hand mixer), until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Add in the powdered sugar and milk. Beat for a minute. Add just a little of pink or blue food coloring. Mix well, if needed add in just a little more food coloring.

To Assemble:

  • Once cookies are cool, scoop a little of the pink/blue frosting in the middle of the cookie. Once all the cookies have frosting chill cookies for about 30 minutes in the fridge or 10 minutes in the freezer.
  • Melt the chocolate by placing in a microwave safe bowl along with the butter/oil. Microwave in 20 seconds increments, stirring in between until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly, carefully top the pink/blue frosting on the cookies with the chocolate making sure none of the color shows through. Let cool completely (can chill to speed up the process) and enjoy surprising your family and friends!
