RED VELVET COOKIES

If you don’t have a lot of time but want to make cookies that taste homemade, the recipe below is a good one. The cookies are made from boxed cake mixes! The recipe below is Red Velvet, but you can also do the same recipe with other flavors. Spice is my boyfriends favorite! Very easy to make.  

Red Velvet Cookies 

1 Box Duncan Hines Red Velvet Cake Mix

2 Eggs

1/3 Cup Oil 

Mix all ingredients together. This will make cookie dough. Roll into balls and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet, or on parchment paper. Flatten down slightly (depending on the thickness you desire). Bake at 375◦ until the tops crackle (about 8-10 minutes) or until desired doneness. 

Cool and then frost with icing below. 

Cream Cheese Frosting 

1 – 8 Ounce Package Cream Cheese (softened)

¼ Cup Stick Butter (softened)

2 Teaspoons Milk

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

4 Cups Sifted Powdered Sugar 

Beat cream cheese, butter, milk and vanilla in medium bowl with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. 

Gradually beat in powdered sugar on low speed, 1 cup at a time, until smooth and spreadable. Frosts on 13 x 9 inch cake generously, or fills and frosts one 8 or 9 inch two-layer cake. Refrigerate any remaining frosting. 

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting: Add 2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and cooled, with the butter.
