Ingredients
1box(15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
6tbspbuttermelted
2eggs
1cupcream cheese frostinghomemade or store-bought
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter and eggs until smooth.
Use a cookie scoop to portion dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until set. (Cookies will puff up a bit in the oven and flatten as they cool.)
Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
Place frosting in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir frosting and check consistency; the frosting should flow off the spoon easily.
Drizzle frosting over the cookies using a criss-cross pattern while cookies are still on wire rack. Reheat frosting as needed to keep drizzling.
Recipe Notes
I add 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the batter before baking. Allow frosting to set before transfer to an airtight container to store. The frosting will be soft but can harden up in the refrigerator.
