      I’ve made much more complicated red velvet cookies before and was shocked- these taste the same! LOVE it when that happens- enjoy!

    I can’t find these Krusteax vanilla sugar cookie anywhere. Can I substitute a regular sugar cookie mix?

    Jessica… I’m excited to try this recipe, but I’m a bit confused. Don’t see where the cocoa power is mentioned in the directions. Please advise. Happy Holidays

      It’s there- 1/3 cup! 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.
      3. Bake 9-10 minutes. Cool cookies completely.
      Cream Cheese Frosting:

      1. With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
      2. Add in powdered sugar, milk and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
      3. Spread on each cookie and top with holiday sprinkles.

        I see it in the ingrediens, not in the directions. Does the cocoa go in with the cookie mix, egg, etc.?

        Oh I see now- I’m sorry! No idea why Krusteaz hasn’t updated their post. Yes, just mix it in with the cookie mix!

    Made the cookie part- those came great. On to the frosting. Do these need to be refrigerated after the frosting is on?

    This recipe looks awesome, but I can’t find the Krusteaz sugar cookie mix anywhere. My cookie exchange is next week, so I don’t have time to order it. Can I use another sugar cookie mix?
