Directions:

2. For the streusel topping, gather two small bowls.  In one bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons flour and 2 tablespoons of vanilla pudding mix. Using a fork, cut the butter into the mix until it is crumbly.  Spread this mixture on one half of the prepared baking sheet.  
3. In the other bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of strawberry jello mix.  Using a fork, cut the butter into the mix until crumbly.  Spread this mixture on the other half of the prepared baking sheet. 
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes or until toasted but not starting to brown.  
5. Allow to cool before crumpling and combining the two mixtures together.  Set aside.
6. For the cookies – in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cake mix, flour, eggs, oil and heavy cream.  Mix until combined, scraping the sides often. 
7. Using an ice cream scoop, divide the dough into mounds on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches to allow for spreading. 
8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 9 minutes or until the center is set.  Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing. 
9. For the frosting, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. 
10. Switch out the attachment for the whisk and add in the powdered sugar and vanilla pudding mix.  Mix on low until combined, scraping the sides often.
11. Add in the heavy cream and mix on low until combined.  Bump up the speed to medium and whip until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides often.
12. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.  
13. Once the cookies are cool, pipe a round of frosting on top of each cookie.
