Red Velvet Milky Way Cake Cookies
Tags: cake mix cookies, chocolate chips, Cookies, dark milky way, dessert, red velvet cake mix, valentine's day
What is it about red velvet cookies that make my heart skip a beat? The deep fantastic red color? Who knows, but what I do know is that these simple, no fuss, make in about 15 minute cookies are to die for!
Try them for yourself, you’ll see what I’m talking about. As if they are not good enough, I’ve added giant chunks of Dark Milky Way bars to the dough with some cute little mini chocolate chips.
Perfect for your Valentine and even better for yourself, lol! Enjoy friends!
It’s hard to tell by this photo, but this is a red velvet cake mix. It looks chocolate until you start mixing in your wet ingredients.
Add a semi-melted stick of butter to the bowl.
You can start to see the cake mix turning red behind the butter 
Add one nice egg and a couple tablespoons of oil.
How Fabulous is this dough?
Ok, time for these midnight dark Milky Way bars. If you haven’t tried these before, they really don’t taste like dark chocolate and they are soooo much better than the original Milky Ways. Trust me on this one.
Ummmm. Yes please.
They were so photogenic I couldn’t stop taking their picture, lol!
Ok, into the bowl they go.
Add some mini chocolate chips right on top and give a good mix.
Scoop nice scoops of dough onto your silpat liner. Parchment paper works great too.
Press each cookie flat before baking. I like how they bake much better this way.
Ahhhh, piping hot ready to come out of the oven. Look at that nougat!
This just makes me happy.
….and this too Enjoy!
