Ingredients

For the Cookies: – 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix (15.25-ounce)
Alternatively, use a chocolate cake mix with 2 tbsp of flavorless gel food color – 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 – ½ cup butter, at room temperature – 3½ cups confectioner’s sugar – 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Making the Cookies:

1. Preheat and Prep:
   Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dough:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, eggs, and flour. If you’re using a chocolate cake mix, add the flavorless gel food coloring now to achieve that iconic red velvet hue. Mix until the ingredients are just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.

3. Scoop and Bake:
   Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will appear puffed up when finished and will firm up as they cool.

4. Cool Completely:
   Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Make sure they are completely cooled before you begin frosting them.

Preparing the Frosting:

1. Cream the Base:
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese and butter together until they are light and whipped.

2. Incorporate the Sugar and Vanilla:
   Gradually add the confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Begin mixing at a low speed to avoid a sugar cloud, then increase the speed once the sugar is mostly incorporated. Beat for several minutes until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.

Decorating the Cookies:

1. Frost the Cookies:
   Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting over the top of each cookie.

2. Add Your Finishing Touches:
   If desired, add sprinkles or chopped nuts for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

3. Store Properly:
   These cookies are best stored in the refrigerator due to the cream cheese frosting. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving for optimal taste and texture.
