directions

  • Mix all the cookie ingredients together. This will make a cookie dough.
  • Roll into balls and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten down slightly (depending on the thickness you desire).
  • Bake at 375° until the tops crackle (about 8-10 minutes) or until desired doneness.
  • Cool and then frost (they're also good without the frosting).
  • For the frosting, beat cream cheese, margarine, milk and vanilla in medium bowl with electric mixer on low speed until smooth.
  • Gradually beat in powdered sugar on low speed, 1 cup at a time, until smooth and spreadable. Frosts one 13 × 9-inch cake generously, or fills and frosts one 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake. Refrigerate any remaining frosting.
  • Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting: Add 2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and cooled, with the margarine.

  1. I was a bit skeptical that these would turn out at first... the dough was very thick and hard to mix. But once I actually baked them, I knew I had a recipe to keep! Delicious little chocolate cookies, and they really held their shape extremely well! Instead of single cookies, I put one on top of another with icing inbetween them to make red velvet sandwich cookies. MMM. My friends will love them for our Fourth of July party. <3
     
  2. LOVED those cookies so so much! When I read the instructions on the cookie mix box, I almost made these cookies that way. I am glad I didn't. This recipe makes chewy and moist red velvet cookies and the cream cheese frosting was a fantastic touch!
     
  3. I don't normally review a recipe but this was super easy and turned out fantastic. I added chocolate chips and cut the sugar on the frosting.
     
  4. Great recipe wouldn't change a thing!
     
  5. FANTASTIC! OMG! CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE FOR MY NIECES!
