Red Velvet Cookies



If you love red velvet cake then you will undoubtedly love these cookies.  Frosted with a little cream cheese frosting makes them the perfect treat for any special occasion.


Red Velvet Cookies

1 red velvet cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbs water
1 tub cream cheese frosting


In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, eggs, oil and water to form a thick sticky dough.  Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a lightly greased baking pan.  Bake 9 to 11 minutes at 375 degrees until the edges just start to brown.  Remove to a cooling rack then, once they have cooled completely, top with cream cheese frosting.  Store in an airtight container.  Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies.



These are both rich and delicious little cookies.  Very pretty too.  I think they'd not only be great to give out at Christmas, but also as a Valentine's Day dessert or gift.  Any red velvet lovers out there?

    Years ago my church hosted a Easter Egg Hunt/Bake Sale for our entire small town. I handed each lady in my church a different box of cake mix and instructions. We made tons of delicious cookies with this simple recipe and we were asked tons of times how to make them! Lynne

      Lol
      I realize the eggnog cookies aren't on your blog.
      If you're interested, it's a white cake mix - 2 eggs - 1/4c eggnog - and a teaspoon each of nutmeg & vanilla.

    I thought I posted this comment! I have the same box of Red Velvet Cake Mix and cream cheese frosting! I am too sick to stand up but I think I will make these tonight or maybe in the morning.
