Ingredients

  • 15.5 ounce package Red Velvet Cake Mix
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchement paper, set aside.
  • Cream together the butter, cream cheese, egg and vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Using a small cookie dough scoop, scoop a heaping tablespoon. Using your hands, form into a 1-inch ball.*
  • Place each ball into a bowl of powdered sugar and coat well. Repeat with the remaining dough
  • Place cookie balls on the lined cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven about 12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

* I recommend using gloves when rolling the cookies so the dye doesn't stain your hands. (speaking from experience here!)
