Instructions
Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Beat together cake mix, eggs, and oil until smooth.
Take 1 tablespoon of dough, roll between hands to create a perfect sphere. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. While cookies are baking and cooling make frosting.
Frosting:
Cream together cream cheese and butter for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add in Nutella, salt, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Alternate adding in cocoa powder and powdered sugar, beating in between. Add in milk. Beat together until smooth.
Assembly:
Once cookies are cool, place frosting in a piping bag (or you can use a gallon size bag and cut the tip off). Pipe frosting onto the bottom side of one cookie and place another cookies on top—creating a sandwich. Repeat until all cookies are used.
In a microwave safe bowl place chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until chocolate is smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle chocolate on top of the cookie sandwiches. Chill until chocolate is set up.
