Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil until well mixed and the batter is thick like cookie dough.

Roll the dough into rounded balls, about 1/2 teaspoon in size. Place on the prepared baking sheet and flatten down slightly with a flat bottomed glass. Use a fork to make criss cross marks on the tops if desired.

Place in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until the tops of the cookies begin to crack slightly. Do not overbake.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes then remove to a cooling rack.

For the filling, combine the flour, milk, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until smooth and cook, stirring, until it forms a thick paste.

Remove from heat, cover, and let cool for 2 or more hours.

Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix on medium speed until fluffy. Add in the cooled flour mixture and vanilla and beat until smooth.

To assemble the cookies, spread filling on one of the cookie bottoms not quite to the edges. Sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies.

Store the red velvet cake mix cookies in an airtight container.
