The Story:
Well, this wraps up my Red Velvet mini-series. But don’t you fret, I still have plenty of Valentines recipes coming that I am really excited for, like the red velvet cupcakes. After all, tomorrow is the start of February…or Singles Awareness Month as a lot of people refer to it as.
But guess who absolutely loved these cookies? Every MAN that tried them. It was really crazy! I mean, the ladies liked them too, but the guys kept going back for more. Maybe they were just shocked they loved them so much…who knows.

So Lizzy… I loved this post SO much that I shared it on Google+ and broadcast it out to the WORLD! Now I’ve got about 200 people asking me why you aren’t on Google+!! HELP!!
I don’t even know how google + works…
Can I just use your red velvet cupcake mix (from scratch)? I will use the dry ingredient measurements and them flow the cookie wet ingredients. Amy suggestions? Thank -you
Just made them today. They were a huge hit. Thank you so very much. They are as tasty as they are beautiful. Have been asked to make more. For me that is the best compliment to get.
Made these over the weekend and took them into work on Monday – they are getting rave reviews! So easy to put together and delicious!!!
Made these today for our B&B guests… so cute and easy and most importantly, delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe! We found it on Pinterest!
