These red velvet cake mix cookies are simple to make and require minimal ingredients (only 4 ingredients)! Perfect on their own or frosted with cream cheese frosting.
Red Velvet is not stranger here. I have made both cake and cupcake versions within the last year. When topped with a sweet and tangy cream cheese frosting they are undeniably the best.
The pair is like a match made in culinary heaven. The slight chocolate flavor of the cookie with the sweet and smooth frosting is irresistible. Which is why I am excited to add red velvet cookies to my list of recipes.
