Red Velvet Rich & Creamy Cookies

A touch of cocoa gives these cookies a kiss of chocolate flavor, and sour cream makes them as moist as their namesake cupcake.

Ingredients

• 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon red food color
• 1 egg
• 3/4 to 1 cup cream cheese frosting*
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts

*Can be store-bought or homemade, but if you use homemade, the frosted cookies must be stored in the refrigerator.

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, cocoa, butter, sour cream, food color and egg until soft dough forms.
3. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
5. Frost cooled cookies with frosting. Sprinkle with nuts. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
