Ingredients

Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookie

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix {15.25 ounce}
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs

Sheet Cake Frosting

  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk {I used 1%}
  • 2 ¼ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine cookie ingredients in large bowl and mix until completely incorporated.  I like to use a hand held mixer but stirring the ingredients by hand works too. NOTE:  Dough will be thick.
  • Using a medium sized cookie scoop {or heaping tablespoon}, scoop cookies onto a silicone {or parchment} lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.  Repeat until all of the dough is baked.
  • Take one of the baked cookies and smash it into crumbs.

Sheet Cake Frosting

  • Combine the butter and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until everything is melted and smooth.  Remove from heat, add powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour {or spoon} frosting over cookies.  Use a knife or spoon to move excess frosting and be sure that the top of each cookie is completely covered. Sprinkle the top of each cookie with a few of the cookie crumbs.
  • Let frosting set for about an hour and serve.  Keep in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
