OOTN...last night. I'm wore my red gingham Jessie Steele apron in the kitchen...baking red velvet cookies.
The *recipe is very easy...Normally I add a cream cheese frosting, but left it off this time because my packaging would mess up the frosting. They are still delicious without the frosting!
I placed them inside the heart-motif cups I bought on sale last year after Valentine's Day.
*Recipe for the red velvet cookies:~1 pouch (1-lb. 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
~1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
~1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
~1/4 cup sour cream
~1 tblsp red food coloring
~1 egg
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Stir cookie mix, cocoa, butter, sour cream, food coloring, and egg until soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-9 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack and cool completely, about 15 minutes. Makes 36
Cream cheese frosting may be added after the cookies are cool, if desired.
