Red Velvet Cookies

This is the Betty Crocker recipe I made this weekend:

•1 pouch 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
•cream cheese frosting
•1/4 cup chopped nuts
DIRECTIONS:

In large bowl, stir cookie mix, cocoa, butter, sour cream, food coloring, and egg until a soft dough forms.

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

Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until set, in a 375 degree oven.

Frost cooled cookies with frosting. Sprinkle with nuts.

They are actually "cake-like" and not too sweet! ENJOY!

These are gorgeous! I used to make my girls their cookies from cake mixes and pop them in the microwave for a fast cookie jar fill-up... Thanks for the recipe... Now, back to cooking...

I saw an ad for these cookies recently and I honestly think I went into a daze staring at the photo, dreaming of having a batch of these cookies ready to eat. Definitely want to make these!
