Ingredients

15.25 ounce (1) box red velvet cake mix
2 large eggs
½ cup whipped cream cheese spread
½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 half sheet baking pans with parchment paper.
Use a stand or hand mixer to beat together the cake mix, eggs and whipped cream cheese spread in a large mixing bowl for 1-2 minutes or until a soft, sticky dough forms.
15.25 ounce (1) box red velvet cake mix, 2 large eggs, ½ cup whipped cream cheese spread
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
½ cup powdered sugar
With a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop, drop balls of the dough directly into the powdered sugar, coat with sugar and then roll into an even ball.
Place the cookies about 1-2 inches apart on your cookie sheet and then bake for 8-11 minutes or until set on the edges.
Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack or serving warm.

Notes

Storage :

Store: Keep at room temperature for 3-5 days. Cover if storing longer than 1 day to prevent drying. Refrigerate up to 1 week.
Reheat: Warm in the microwave for a few seconds to soften and taste fresh.
Freeze: Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw before eating (cookies may firm up slightly).
Make ahead: Dough can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Chill and cover tightly, then roll in powdered sugar just before baking.

Tips:

Use room temperature cream cheese so it blends smoothly.
Roll cookies generously in powdered sugar for bold crinkles.
For even baking, use a cookie scoop for same-size cookies.
Don’t overbake, cookies should be soft in the middle.
