Ingredients

Cookies:
1 box red velvet cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Cream Cheese Filling:
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3-4 cup powdered sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
3. Roll the dough into balls (about 1 1/2 inches). (Dough will be gooey)
4. Drop into powdered sugar and cover with the sugar, then place on the cookie sheet, 3 inches away from other dough balls.
5. Bake for 7-10 minutes. Watch for the cookies to puff up a bit and form cracks along the top, then take them out of the oven and let them rest on the cookies sheet for a couple of minutes.
6. Remove the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
7. Make the filling: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla and slowly add powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
8. Pipe onto the bottom of half the cookies, sandwich with another cookie and then roll in coarse sugar to decorate.

Ingredients

125g butter, softened
100g light brown soft sugar
125g caster sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
225g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
200g chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.

2. Cream butter and sugars, once creamed, combine in the egg and vanilla.

3. Sift in the flour and salt, then the chocolate chips.

4. Roll into walnut-sized balls.

5. Place on ungreased baking paper. If you want to have the real Millies experience then bake for just 7 minutes, till the cookies are just setting – the cookies will be really doughy and delicious. Otherwise cook for 10 minutes until just golden round the edges.

6. Take out of the oven and leave to harden for a minute before transferring to a wire cooling rack. These are great warm, and they also store well, if they don’t all get eaten straight away!
