Red Velvet Cookie Sandwiches

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Red Velvet Cookie Sandwiches.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C), setting the stage for some delicious baking.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine a box of red velvet cake mix with beaten eggs, vegetable oil, and a splash of bourbon.

3. Step 3

   Stir everything together until it’s beautifully blended and smooth.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to shape your cookies! Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets, giving them room to spread and shine.

5. Step 5

   Pop the trays into your preheated oven and bake for around 8 minutes, or until you see the tops starting to crack—this is a sign of cookie perfection! Once they’re done, let the cookies cool in the pans for about 10 minutes.

6. Step 6

   After that, gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, filling your kitchen with that irresistible aroma.

7. Step 7

   While the cookies are cooling, let’s whip up a luscious cream cheese icing.

8. Step 8

   In another large bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, butter, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut.

9. Step 9

   Gradually add in confectioners' sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

10. Step 10

    If your icing feels a bit too thick, don’t hesitate to add a splash more evaporated milk until you reach that dreamy consistency.

11. Step 11

    Now for the fun part! Chop up some pecans and set them aside.

12. Step 12

    Take one of your cooled cookies and spread a generous layer of that creamy icing on the bottom.

13. Step 13

    Then, grab another cookie and gently press it on top, allowing the icing to ooze out just a bit at the edges—this is where the magic happens! Roll the edges of your cookie sandwich in the chopped pecans for that delightful crunch.

14. Step 14

    Repeat this delicious process with the remaining cookies, and soon you’ll have a beautiful platter of red velvet cookie sandwiches ready to impress your family and friends.

15. Step 15

    Enjoy every bite of your sweet creation!.
