Red Velvet Cookies

"These were actually quite easy to make and they tasted just like red velvet cake :) I thought the cookie had a great consistency and was really moist. I didn't have any sour cream at my house, so I substituted with vanilla yogurt instead, and it works perfectly fine. The frosting is also great, very creamy and excellent tasting. I will definitely be making these cookies again. Thanks for the great recipe!" —magicbaker1

Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies

"Wonderful and very pretty!" says squeeziebrb. "These will take care of your cheesecake and red velvet cravings. Taste best the next day. TIPS: Don't use reduced fat or fat free cream cheese. After you have made the swirls, and before you put in oven, VERY gently tap the pan on the counter to remove some bubbles that may have formed when swirling."

Dawn's Easy Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

A boxed red velvet cake mix puts these cute cookies on a fast track. And guess what? There's a slug of bourbon in the mix. But you could use vanilla extract instead.

"This recipe was amazing! Cookies were so soft and the filling is so delicious. The cream cheese flavor is very light and subtle." —Kristen

Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"I made this on a whim. I used Arrowhead Mills gluten free all purpose baking mix rather than the flours in the recipe because it was what I had it in the pantry. I also don't invest much in gluten free products because I am always disappointed. This is the best gluten free cake I have made. It is surprisingly moist." —Caroline

"I made these for Valentine's Day and they were a big hit. Nice and moist. The only change I made was with the food coloring. Since I was using a gel food color I knew that a tablespoon would be too much so added it to the batter a little bit at a time until I got the color I wanted. Would definitely make them again." —Pat

"I love this recipe! The only change I make is using white chocolate chips rather than dark. It not only makes them pretty, but also gives them a different flavor, which everyone loves. I like to make them petite." —Joyce Greenland Stath

"This southern gal loved this recipe, indeed a smaller bite-size version from the Red Velvet Cake. One thing you need to make sure is to room temp the buttermilk and eggs. Other than that top these babies off with cream cheese and they are sure to be a hit."Ā FleurSweetLoves.
