Red Velvet Rich and Creamy Cookies

Red Velvet Rich and Creamy Cookies

Note - I used my homemade cookie mix - I do not like packaged anything!







1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix



1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa



1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened



1/4 cup sour cream



1 tablespoon red food color



1 egg



3/4 to 1 cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting - I used homemade



1/4 cup chopped nuts







1 Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, cocoa, butter, sour cream, food color and egg until soft dough forms.

2 Roll dough into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

3 Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

4 Frost cooled cookies with frosting. Sprinkle with nuts. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
