Cauldron Cookies

Cauldron Cookies

Serves: 18–20 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 15.25-oz box red velvet cake mix
  • 6 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp special dark cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla icing (optional)
  • Candy eyes (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Place the red velvet cake mix in a large bowl.

Add the eggs and melted butter and mix until combined.

Let the dough set for 10 minutes. Place the cocoa powder on a shallow plate.

Scoop a rounded tablespoon full of the cookie dough. Form it into a ball and roll it in the cocoa powder until covered.

Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Bake in the oven for 12–14 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool before removing from the parchment paper.

For the optional eyes: Place the icing in a small pastry bag or in a plastic re-sealable bag.

If using the plastic bag, cut a small hole in the corner.

Squeeze a tiny bit of icing where you want the eyes.

Place eyes on icing. Let icing dry for half an hour.
