Ingredients

  • For cookies:
  • 1 Box Duncan Hines Red Velvet Cake Mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • For Frosting:
  • Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese -- softened
  • 1/4 cup stick margarine or butter -- softened
  • 2 teaspoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • cups powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

For cookies:
Mix all ingredients together. This will make a cookie dough. Roll into balls and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten down slightly (depending on the thickness you desire). Bake at 375° until the tops crackle (about 8-10 minutes) or until desired doneness.

For Frosting:

Beat cream cheese, margarine, milk and vanilla in medium bowl with electric mixer on low speed until smooth.

Gradually beat in powdered sugar on low speed, 1 cup at a time, until smooth and spreadable. Frosts one 13 × 9-inch cake generously, or fills and frosts one 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake. Refrigerate any remaining frosting.

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting: Add 2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and cooled, with the margarine.
