Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies


Easiest cookie to make for the holidays because it comes from a cake mix! I bake these little gems up for Valentine's Day and Christmas along with a festive green colored "Grinch" and/or "St. Patty's Day Crinkle" Cookies using a French Vanilla flavored cake mix and green food coloring.

If You'd perfer a "Crinkle Kiss" Just add a Hershey Kiss to the top after baking while still warm.  Maybe you'd perfer a Heart Shaped Crinkle Cookie.? There a few varieties but I just love the Simple Fudgy original ones the best.
