Red Velvet Cookies w/ Cream Cheese Frosting

Cookies

1 (18 ounce) box red velvet cake mix (any brand will do)
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup stick butter (softened)
2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar

 

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, butter, 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. 

 

(You can half the frosting recipe and have plenty for these cookies--the full recipe will ice an entire cake.)
