Red Velvet Cookies With Cream Cheese Frosting

I would rate higher if I could!!!! I dare say, these are THEE BEST cookies my husband and I have ever made, maybe even ever had! I am making my second batch today, I forgot to comment the first time. The dough felt very, very greasy. I thought that I did something wrong but decided to push on anyways without changing a thing. They turned out absolutely perfect so I guess it's just how this dough is. I would like to find a recipe to make these from scratch, but no one will know that these aren't unless you tell them. Plus they look so elegant. These would be perfect for a sweetheart or Valentine day, even Christmas. The frosting really sets it off! What I like about making the frosting, is you can control the sweetness. I'll split the batch in half, and do half the sugar with a touch more vanilla in one and normal on the other for people who like a little more sweetness. Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous!! What are you waiting for?! You could be baking these cookies and munching within the hour!! :)

So I came across this recipe looking for a Valentines Day themed treat to bring to a party and fell in love with the idea! When I went to the grocerie store with my list of items to buy in order to make the cookies, there was no red velvet cake mix to be found! I decided to try German Chocolate Cake mix instead and added some red food coloring to the dough to give it a valentine flair! The cookies turned out wounderfully with a deep red color and a rich cocolate flavor!

Red velvet is not a flavor that I've been familiar with in the past since I'm a native New Yorker, but after recently seeing a box of red velvet cake mix for the first time at the grocery store, I was intrigued. I was going to just make cupcakes with it, but when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to make it! This is a simple recipe, yet it is sure to impress! I may have baked my cookies for less than 8 minutes, we like our cookies very soft, but they had started to crackle just a bit. As far as the icing goes, 4 cups of powdered sugar sounded like way too much to me, I only used 2. This made for a delicious, perfectly mildly sweet frosting. I don't care for things overly sweet, but if you do I would guess the 4 cups would work great. I topped the frosting with candy heart sprinkles and they looked beautiful. I will make these often, thanks so much for posting!

YUM! these were delicious! I doubled the recipe, but didn't need to double the frosting, I had enough for 4 batches of cookies! But that's ok...I've been eating it :) These are wonderul cookies that are easy and quick to make, but everyone LOVES them!

I was a bit skeptical that these would turn out at first... the dough was very thick and hard to mix. But once I actually baked them, I knew I had a recipe to keep! Delicious little chocolate cookies, and they really held their shape extremely well! Instead of single cookies, I put one on top of another with icing inbetween them to make red velvet sandwich cookies. MMM. My friends will love them for our Fourth of July party. <3

These cookies were delicious! I was able to get about 35 decent sized cookies by dropping rounded teaspoons onto my cookie sheet. They came out great! I added some chocolate chips to the mix, and although it was difficult to keep them incorporated into the batter, they tasted great in the cookies! I also cut down the powdered sugar in the frosting to 2 cups instead of 4 and it was sweet enough. Great recipe, thanks! Great recipe, thanks!

Love the cookies, but the frosting recipe is enough for a double batch of cookies

These were awesome at our summer cookie extravaganza. I'd never made a cake mix cookie before. There were very easy, held their shape well and tasted good. I live at 500 feet above sea level and was working at 4200 feet. I'm not used to adjusting for high altitude baking but these were no problem. They will definitely be on my Christmas cookie trays.

I made this for Valentine's Day. I agree they do not make 36-48 cookies. I was able to get about 24 and I use a tablespoon sized cookie scoop to measure out my cookies. I just wish I had used my heart-shaped pan for these!

These were fabulous! However, they did NOT make 36 cookies. I was lucky to get 24 out of the batch. These are not too sweet either, but are real rich tasting. I even got compliments from the MIL... thanks for a great cookie! This deserves the five stars.
