Ingredients

For the Cookies:

• 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix (15.25-ounce box)
  • Note: You can substitute with a chocolate cake mix and 2 tablespoons of flavorless gel food color if red velvet isn’t available.
• 1/2 cup oil (canola or vegetable)
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

For the Frosting:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
• 3 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Making the Cookies:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare 1-2 baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, eggs, and flour. If you’re starting with a chocolate cake mix and want that signature red velvet hue, add the food coloring at this stage. Mix the ingredients until just combined—overmixing can lead to tough cookies.

3. Portion the Dough: Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Ensure there’s enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

4. Bake: Place your baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will appear puffed and slightly underdone, but they will set as they cool.

5. Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. It’s essential that the cookies are at room temperature before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.

Making the Frosting:

1. Beat the Base: In a large mixing bowl, place the room-temperature cream cheese and butter. Beat them together until the mixture is whipped and smooth.

2. Incorporate the Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract. Start on a low speed to avoid a sugar cloud. Once the sugar is incorporated and the mixture is no longer powdery, increase the speed and beat for several minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Decorating Your Cookies:

1. Frost the Cookies: Once your cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting over the top. This is where you can get creative—use a piping bag for intricate designs or a spatula for a rustic look.

2. Add Your Touch: For an extra festive touch, sprinkle some colorful sprinkles or chopped nuts over the frosting. This not only adds visual appeal but also a delightful crunch.

3. Storage: These cookies are best stored in the refrigerator to keep the frosting fresh. Before serving, bring them to room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
