Red Velvet Cookies. Red Velvet Cake. Red velvet cupcakes.

Red velvet cheese balls, dips, hot cocoas, or even this red velvet cheesecake brownies recipe. The possibilities are endless.

Red Velvet POPCORN? Why… yes please! Red velvet is delicious, fun and so festive, no matter the season.

Although red velvet is traditionally associated with Valentine’s Day, I think these cookies would be great during the winter holidays too, with their deep, rich red color. 

Who am I kidding; these would be great any day of the year. Thursdays should be festive too, no?  

And we don’t want to leave Mondays out. Goodness knows Mondays could use a little festivity.

The biggest bonus about these cookies is that they are insanely easy to make. As a busy mom, easy recipes are of utmost importance. These red velvet cookies start with a box of red velvet cake.

With a few additional ingredients, you have cookies. Soft, chewy, pillowy cookies.  I had to give most of these away so that I wouldn’t eat them all. 

And aren’t they pretty? I think they would look great in a clear cellophane bag wrapped up as a present for someone.

Or offered up at a bake sale. Who could resist these gorgeous cookies? You’d be the numero uno fund raiser. 

Craving more cookies? Don’t miss this funfetti cookies recipe or these chewy M&M Cookies. And everyone should have breakfast cookies at least once in their life.
