That is one of my favorite lines from "Steel Magnolias" after Ouiser sees a piece of the armadillo red velvet grooms cake. So Red Velvet cake is a southern tradition and I have never attempted a 'homemade' one although I have friend who bakes a GREAT one... So I LOVE some shortcuts to baking, and have I ever found a winner in the cake mix cookies. I have done several versions, but the recipe I share today is a real treat! I love red velvet cake- it's just one of those wonderful southern treats that makes an ordinary day seem very special!
One box Red Velvet cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
cream cheese icing
1. Combine the cake mix with 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup oil. This dough should be not too wet so add the oil a bit at a time to ensure it's not too wet.
2. Roll dough into balls about the size of a walnut and place on cookie sheet. Try to make the dough balls very close in size!
3. Bake at 350* for 13 minutes. Pull out and allow to cool on sheet for 5 minutes before moving cookies to rack.
4. When cookies are cooled, match up cookies to form a top and bottom. Spread icing on one cookie and top with another- forming a sandwich.
