Red Velvet Cookies with a Cream Cheese Drizzle
Soft and gooey red velvet cake mix cookies drizzled with a cream cheese icing!
Ingredients
- 1 Box of Red Velvet Cake Mix (I use Betty Crocker 15.25 oz)
- 2 Eggs
- ½ Cup Vegetable Oil
- For the Drizzle:
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- ½ Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
- 3 Tbsp Milk
- Pinch of Salt
- Tools:
- Cookie Scoop
- Parchment Paper
- Plastic or Piping Bag
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Step 2 In a large bowl, add your eggs and vegetable oil and whisk together.
- Step 3 Sift your cake mix into the bowl and stir until combined.
- Step 4 Using your cookie scoop, drop your dough about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. If you don’t have a cookie scoop then it’s about 2 tablespoons of dough.
- Step 5 Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes.
- Step 6 Allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet and then place them onto a cookie rack to cool the rest of the way.
- Step 7 For the cream cheese drizzle, place the cream cheese into a small mixing bowl and beat using a hand mixer.
- Step 8 Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to mix.
- Step 9 Add the vanilla, milk, and a pinch of salt and beat until smooth. If needed, to reach the consistency you desire, add more milk in small increments.
- Step 10 Pour the cream cheese glaze into a piping or plastic bag, cut the corner of the bag and drizzle over each cookie. Wait for the glaze to set and enjoy!
