That is how these Red Velvet Cake Mix Sandwich cookies were born. The thing I love about cake mix cookies, is that it only requires a few ingredients and they are super easy to put together.

 

I also wanted to take these cookies up a notch by adding white chocolate chips! The white chips in the red dough really pops!
