Ingredients

  • 1 red velvet cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour + additional for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  2. Use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to mix all ingredients together until a smooth dough forms.
  3. If needed, knead additional flour into the dough by hand until the dough is smooth and not too sticky to handle.
  4. Roll the dough out on a floured surface. Sprinkle more flour on top before rolling with the rolling pin.
  5. Cut out shapes. Bake cookies for 9 minutes and let cool completely on the cookie sheet before transferring or frosting.
