Okay we are in the thick of "busy season" at work so lets make this a quick one... To add to the many addicts of Pinterest, I too must admit to being addicted to the wonderful endless flow of pictures/goodies and crafts that it supplies. During one of my Pinterest sessions I came across these WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC looking/sounding beauties: Red Velvet Cheesecake Cookies from Two Peas & Their Pod.
These already sounded SPECTACULAR as is, but then I had also seen these red velvet marshmallow thumbprint cookies from How Sweet It Is on Pinterest, so guess what I did?!? I combined the best of both these recipes to make RED VELVET CHEESECAKE THUMBPRINT COOKIES!!!! Yes yes I totally went there and it was amazing!
Recipe from Two Peas & Their Pod.
(1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine all of the cookie ingredients together and give it a good whirl in the stand mixer until it all comes together into a smooth red dough. At this point I covered the dough and put it into the fridge while I made the cheesecake goodness!
(2) In a medium bowl, place the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract together. Using a hand mixer blend until smooth and creamy.
(3) This is where I changed up Two Peas & Their Pod's procedures. Take the red velvet dough out of the fridge and using a portion scoop (I used 1 Tbsp.) dollop spoonfuls onto your cookie sheet. Using a smaller portion scoop (I used 1.5 tsp.) make a thumbprint indention into the dough and fill with cheesecake goodness.
(4) Bake cookies at 350 degrees F for about 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for about 2 minutes before removing.
These babies are so soft and moist and flat-out delicious! My co-workers all definitely enjoyed these, and they were so easy to make! I will be keeping this recipe around for any last minute red velvet emergencies. I recommend that you do the same.
Like I said, I will do my best to get back into the blogging, but as I mentioned we are in the thick of tax busy season....just to give you a glimpse into the life of a Tax Accountant...
Sad, isn't it? Hopefully, you will hear from me soon! Happy Baking, and please bake some extra Valentine's goodies on my behalf since I will not have much time to do it myself.
