Neapolitan Cookies Recipe

Neapolitan Cookies are chewy cookies with the flavors of strawberry and vanilla, then dipped in dark chocolate. Such a fun and easy cookie to make that starts with cake mixes!

I received complimentary products from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #helpingcookies event. All opinions are mine alone. #sponsored

What a better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day and to support a great cause than with a cookie! It’s that time of year when food bloggers unite to raise much needed funds for  Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. I’m making an easy and delicious Neapolitan cookies using cake mixes! Before I get to the recipe, let me tell you a bit about the “Be a Good Cookie” event and how you can help.

Be a Good Cookie Campaign Details

I’m so excited to participate in this Valentine’s event (again). This is the fifth year for our event and we want to continue to make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer.

Cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. The National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%. It’s such a small number and that’s why I got involved.

And with the ongoing pandemic, children are still being diagnosed with cancer. It’s imperative that we raise awareness and continue to raise funds to fund the ongoing pediatric cancer research! Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer!

 

Want to Donate

Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because these three companies: OXO, Mediavine amd Dixie Crystals have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000! That means when we raise $1, it turns into $4! Thank you to so many of you who have already donated, please help us reach our goal so we can get the full matching donations and help us make an even huge difference! Donate here today. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We couldn’t have done this without the support of these fine sponsors and our fabulous event organizer, Julie from  The Little Kitchen. Our generous sponsors provided us with product to aid in our baking for this event and many thanks to them for doing so and for matching our donations.

Let’s get baking!

How to Make This Neapolitan Cookies

Making cookies from cake mixes is super easy and fun.  The combinations are nearly endless and the cookies are moist, chewy, and full of flavor.  This one is no different.  

For this Neapolitan Cookie Recipe, you’ll need two cake mixes, vanilla and strawberry. For each cake mix you will need 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Once you have each mix and the ingredients combined, chill the doughs in the freezer for about 5-8 minutes to firm up the dough. This helps it not be too sticky.

Measure out a tablespoon of each dough and roll each into a ball.

Then take both dough balls and roll them together. Place on prepared baking sheet and place in freezer for 10 minutes. This will help the cookies not spread out too much.

Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, depending on how your oven cooks. Mine took more on the 12 minute side. Allow the neapolitan cookies to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, this will firm up the cookies and finish baking.

Remove to cooling rack to completely cool before dipping in melted dark chocolate and adding sprinkles.

 

Remember you can donate here to help us reach our goal. The link will be open until March 1, 2021.
