Red Velvet cake mix cookies filled with a tangy cream cheese frosting for the holidays!

Ingredients
cookies
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mild vegetable oil or melted and cooled butter
- 15 ounce red velvet cake mix I use Duncan Hines
- granulated sugar for rolling
filling
- 4 ounces brick style cream cheese
- 1 cup (heaped) powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs and oil. Then fold in the cake mix until everything is well combined and there is no dry mix left.
- Cover with plastic and chill for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Preheat oven to 325°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out the dough and roll into balls. You should get about 30 balls to make 15 sandwich cookies.
- Roll each ball in granulated sugar and place on the lined baking sheet, 2-3 inches apart. Bake for about 7 minutes, or until the cookies have spread out and started to wrinkle on the edges. They will seem underdone, but will firm up as they cool.*
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for several minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. I like to do this in my food processor because it makes an instant lump free frosting and I can use cold cream cheese! If you want to use electric beaters you will want to soften your cream cheese first.
- Fill the cooled cookies.

Notes
- *I suggest doing a test cookie before rolling and baking all your dough. Make adjustments to the size of your balls, oven temp, etc. as necessary.
- Because there is cream cheese in the filling these cookies should be refrigerated after 2 hours.
