These red velvet cheesecake cookies are a huge hit! Soft, chewy and super simple to make. The secret is the boxed cake mix!
Ingredients
- 1 box (15 To 18 Oz. Size) Red Velvet Cake Mix
- 1 stick Butter, Melted
- 2 whole Eggs
- 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1 whole Egg Yolk
- ¼ cups Sugar
- ⅛ teaspoons Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Vanilla
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, butter and eggs until combined.
Scoop tablespoon sized balls of dough onto a greased cookie sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the center of the balls of dough.
For the filling: In a medium sized bowl using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
Bake cookies for 5 minutes or until the cookie just start to set. Remove from the oven and use a spoon to deepen the indentation.
Fill each cookie with about a teaspoon of cheesecake filling. Return cookies to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheesecake has set.
