Have you ever had Red Velvet Cookies? Mmm. Melt in your mouth. Seriously. These babies are as good as they look. Which is why they were a shoo-in for the blog today.

Feeling the holiday cheer, I made this past Saturday a baking day! While chocolate is my tried and true, all-time favorite baking flavor, Red Velvet has been a close runner-up for a few years now! And there’s really nothing better than Red Velvet cookies… especially during the holidays.

I can’t keep this recipe a secret because I think it’s just too delicious… and sooo simple. Which is perfect for this time of year, when multi-tasking becomes an absolute necessity. If you are in charge of bringing a dessert to a celebration in the next couple of weeks, I hope I can save you some time (and some pinning) – here ya go:

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix (I used Duncan Hines)
• 2 Eggs
• 6 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Combine cornstarch and powdered sugar in small bowl, set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter and eggs. Mix well.
4. Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll in powdered sugar mixture.
5. Place on un-greased, cool cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake 8-10 minutes.
7. Cool on cooling rack.

You can also add sprinkles or chocolate chips for added flavor! Plus, a glass of milk goes oh-so-perfectly! 🙂

Enjoy!
