Red velvet and cream cheese frosting are one of my favorite flavor combinations!
I love how the sweetness of red velvet is complimented by the tanginess of cream cheese.
I was recently asked to make a batch of cookies for one of my neighbors and I knew that I wanted to make them using a cake mix!
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!
Another great thing about this recipe is that you can eat them on their own if you want.
If you are short on time and don’t want to add the cream cheese frosting, these cookies are delicious without it!
