Cream Cheese Frostin

- Add powdered sugar and mix. Frosting will be very thick.
- Add vanilla extract and combine. Slowly the frosting will thin down a little bit.
- Add milk a little at a time. I use about 1 tablespoon milk for a perfect thick cheesecake like filling.

Notes
Pro Tips
Cake Mix Cookies are pretty simple to make, but there are always questions. So let me help you with these pro tips. Cookie Dough. Cake Mix Cookie Dough can be sticky. I often find it hard to scoop. Chill cookie dough in refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. This helps scooping cookie dough and making thicker cookies. Baking Sheets. I love using Parchment Paper on baking sheets. You can also spray with cooking spray or use a silicone liner. Piping Bags. I find it quick and easy to use a piping bag with the corner snipped off when filling this recipe for red velvet cookie sandwiches. You can use a knife and spread a thick layer of creamy frosting on each cookie too. This recipe will make 12 large sandwich cookies using a medium size #24 cookie scoop.
