Red Velvet Kiss Cookies




Ingredients:

1  Red Velvet cake mix  ( See below)
1 (8 oz.) pkg cream cheese, at room temp
1/2 cup butter, at room temp
1 egg, at room temp
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Hershey's  kisses- unwrapped



Ingredients:

Cream butter and cheese together. Add egg and extract. Gradually add cake mix (1/2 cup at a time), stopping to scrape down sides of the bowls. Batter will be thick.

Preheat oven to 350*F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Roll batter into 1-inch balls, roll balls in sanding sugar, place on prepared cookie sheets. About 12 cookies per sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes.

While cookies bake, unwrap kisses. Let cookies cool for a minute on the sheet. Press a kiss in the center of the cookie and let cool another 2-3 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

Three ounce Cake Mix upsizer

source: Jill Cataldo

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Whisk all the dry ingredients together. Store in a air tight jar.

Whisk each time before using.


To increase a 15.25 ounce cake mix ( which this box was) add 3 ounces or 8 level tablespoons plus 1 level teaspoon of this up sizer to the cake mix.


This is one of my old recipes. I could tell by the size ( in ounces) of the cakemix . No source since it was a hand written.

  1. These look and must taste so good. I can remember making these with other cake mixes. So many of the old recipes need to be upsized. Guess I should make a batch of upsizers to keep.

    1. I have a large Mason jar I keep the "upsizer" in. If you need a large jar let me know and I'll send you one.

  2. I have a large jar, but thanks anyway. I am going to make some of this upsizer after the holidays.
