Easy Valentine's Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies
Delightful red velvet sandwich cookies with a creamy cream cheese filling, perfect for Valentine's Day.
Equipment
- Mixer
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 box red velvet cake mix about 15.25 oz
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 2 large eggs
For the Cream Cheese Filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 8 oz package cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 lb confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, simply combine the red velvet cake mix, the softened butter, and the eggs. Mix these ingredients until they're just combined and form a smooth dough.
- Grab a baking sheet and, using a spoon or a small (about 1.5-inch) ice cream scooper, drop spoonfuls of cookie batter onto it, making sure to leave about two inches of space between each.
- Bake these delightful cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until they are lightly set. Once baked, let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
- In a mixer, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until the mixture is wonderfully smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, continuing to mix until your filling is light, fluffy, and perfectly smooth.
- Once your cookies are cool, take one and spread a good dollop of the cream cheese filling onto its flat side.
- Gently place another cookie on top, pressing them together to create a charming sandwich. The filling should reach the edges.
- Repeat this process with all your cookies and filling.
- Voila! Your easy and delicious Valentine's treats are ready to be enjoyed!
