Servings: 12
An easy recipe using red velvet cake mix to make chewy cookies stuffed with a cheesecake like filling.
Ingredients
Red Velvet Cookies
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- white chocolate chips for melting
Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbs flour
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, or your stand mixer bowl, combine the cream cheese filling ingredients. Mix well until the powdered sugar is completely combined. Use a small cookie scoop to make rounded tablespoon sized dollops. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for at least an hour.
- Combine the cake mix, vegetable oil & eggs in a clean bowl. Refrigerate while your oven preheats to 350F.
- Spray a medium sized cookie scoop with nonstick spray. Use a little bit of the cooking spray on your hands to prevent the dough from sticking. Scoop two balls of cookie dough and flatten them slightly with your palm. Place a frozen ball of cream cheese in between the two pieces of cookie dough and seal the edges.
- Place the cookie dough on a parchment paper lined baking sheet - about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the surface of the cookies is no longer glistening and has more of a satin appearance.
- Allow the cookies to cool and place on a wire rack. To finish, melt about 1/2 of a bag of white chocolate chips & drizzle on top of the cooled cookies.
