Red Velvet Crinkle Sandwiches

1 box red velvet cake mix

6 Tbl. unsalted butter, melted

2 eggs

1/2 c. powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine cake mix, melted butter and eggs and beat until combined. Place powdered sugar in a small bowl. Roll dough into roughly 1-inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are set.

Cream Cheese Filling

From: Jenn@eatcakefordinner

1 stick unsalted butter, softened

4 oz. cream cheese

2 1/2 c. powdered sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

pinch of salt

1 Tbl. milk, plus more if needed

Beat butter and cream cheese until creamy. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, salt and milk and beat until combined. If mixture is too thick, add a little extra milk. Spread between cooled cookies.

Jenn's Notes: I got 30 cookies out of one batch (15 sandwiches). The cookies will look slightly underdone, but set up just fine. Try not to overbake them.
