Red Velvet Christmas Cookies — Five Ingredient Recipe
Many families have Christmas cookie-making traditions. Whether it be weeks before the big holiday, on Christmas Eve, all of one kind, or a variety of tasty treats – 'tis the season to bring out those deer-shaped cookie cutters and stock up on some green and red sprinkles.
To make the most out of Christmas cookie eating, I opt for trying out different recipes all throughout December...because why not?
A few weeks ago, while setting up the tree, I tried out a red velvet cookie recipe that did not disappoint. What's even better, is that they only require five ingredients! Plus, they are super festive looking – making them a perfect option if you happen to be in charge of bringing dessert to Christmas dinner this year.
Red Velvet Christmas Cookies
1 box of red velvet cake mix
1 tsp. cornstarch
2 eggs
3/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tbsp. butter (melted)
Start by preheating the oven to 400°.
In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cornstarch.
In a bigger bowl, mix together the eggs, cake mix, and butter. Mix well until completely combined.
Scoop 1-inch balls out of the dough and place on greased cookie sheet (mine spread quite a bit so leave room).
With a spoon, pat the powdered sugar/cornstarch mixture on top of each dough ball.
Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until done. Then, let them cool for a few minutes and get to eating!
