Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies

I first made these cookies years ago.
Like probably close to 10 years ago if I'm being honest.
And I totally forgot about them and their deliciousness.


That is until a really good friend's grandma reminded me recently!
I instantly knew I need to make them again 
and of course I had to blog about them too!!

So today, I bring you a very easy and super tasty cookie
that funny enough is made using cake mix!
Let me show you exactly how these babies are made.

The Goods:
Red Velvet Cake Mix
Cream Cheese
Egg
Vanilla
Butter
Powdered Sugar

Let butter and cream cheese get soft in a large mixing bowl.

Then cream using a hand mixer.

Add the egg...

And mix that in!

Now add the vanilla...

And mix that in too...

Until it looks like this!

Dump in the whole box of cake mix...

And mix that in!

Oh hello yummy red velvet cream cheese mixture.

Form into walnut sized balls.

And roll each ball in powdered sugar.

Place on a cookie sheet with room for cookie to expand during baking.

Bake at _____ for ________.

Cool on baking sheet for a minute or two.

Remove to wire rack and dust with more powdered sugar.

And of course, take a bite to make sure they taste alright!

  1. I've made these before and they are SO good! Perfect for the upcoming July 4th holiday and of course, Christmas! Does your dough ever get sticky, though, and makes it hard to roll into balls? i also made something similar at Halloween time and I used green dough and added the monster eyes to them. They were a big hit at our Halloween party last year!

    1. Hi Laura! You're right - they would be perfect for 4th of July! I've found that if the dough starts to get too sticky, I just pop it back in the fridge (or even freezer if I'm in a rush) for a bit to set up a little more. Hope that helps! :)
