Red Velvet Cookies

As many of you know I LOVE funfetti cookies, so when came across red velvet cookies I had to try them. Both me and my husband adore red velvet cake so I thought it would be a hit for sure. I almost didn't make these since we have girl scout cookies in the house, but I decide what the heck it is spring break! These are so easy and tasty it is impossible in my book to only eat one. Rolling them into balls may turn your hands red, but don't worry it washes off easy as pie, so don't let that stop you. So once you get done drooling at the pictures head to the kitchen and start cooking you won't regret it for one minute!!

1 (8oz.) brick of cream cheese (I used the reduced fat) (room temp)

Confectioners sugar for rolling

1. Cream the cream cheese and butter together until smooth
2. Add in the egg and mix
3. Add vanilla and mix
3. Add red velvet mix until incorpated
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, can go overnight
5. Pre-heat over to 350 and roll into tablespoon size balls
6. Roll balls into confectioner's sugar place on ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart
7. Bake 12 minutes, they will be soft
8. Cool completely then ice with cream cheese frosting or sprinkle with confectioner's sugar if you would rather (Matt thought the icing was the best part I think)
