RED VELVET CHRISTMAS COOKIES

Red Velvet Christmas Cookies are a festive and easy recipe I’d like to share with you as part of my ongoing partnership with Krusteaz. These cookies are so simple to make and they have that rich, decadent taste of red velvet that goes perfectly with the holiday season.

INGREDIENTS
Cookies:

• 1 package Krusteaz Butter Vanilla Sugar Cookie Mix
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 3 tsp red coloring

Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tsp butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 Tbsp milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Holiday sprinkles

DIRECTIONS
Cookies:

1. Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir together cookie mix, butter, egg, cream cheese and red coloring until well blended.
2. Place rounded tablespoons dough 2-inches apart onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Spray the bottom of a glass jar with non-stick spray. Press down each ball of cookie dough gently until a 2 1/2” diameter circle of dough forms.
