What to bring when you barge in

 Well, maybe you call ahead. Regardless, make these! If you like Red Velvet, you'll love them. If you like cookies, you'll love them.

And if you enjoy stuffing your face with food, then these are for you!

And the secret is, these are made out of a box cake mix! (Yes, I do make cookies from scratch!) It's so easy...and so good. And so easy. And so good.

 

Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies (from The Novice Chef)

Yield: 18 cookies

Crinkle Cookies from a boxed cake mix are one of my favorite cookies to make. First off, they literally take 5 minutes of work from me. Second, they are delicious and chewy! You can use any boxed cake mix in this recipe to make crinkle cookies...some of my personal favorites are Lemon and Chocolate!

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
18.25 oz box Red Velvet Cake Mix
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F and line two cookie sheets with a silicon mat or parchment paper. Place powdered sugar in a shallow bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine butter, eggs and red velvet cake mix until there are no large lumps left.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls (about 1 tablespoon worth of dough) and coat in powdered sugar. Place on cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches for spreading.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops have cracked and the tops look set (the centers will still be gooey). Let sit for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
Serve warm (over Bluebell vanilla ice cream!) or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

And I think you can make these with any kind of cake mix as well. And seriously? These make AMAZING Whoopie pies! Whoopie!

Xoxo, Red Velvet Forever

(and cheese too!)
