Red Velvet Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting

These Red Velvet Cookies with cream cheese frosting and raspberry jam are great for feeding your sweet cravings!

I’ve fallen off the weight loss band wagon for a bit.  Travel is so incredibly difficult when you’re trying to lose weight and, well, I’ve had quite a bit of travel lately and I have more coming up.  I love the travel — just not the weight gain.  Hee-hee.  

So, when you’re eating a little more freely, you may or may not eat more dessert.  Ya know, something like these amazing Red Velvet Cookies!

Red Velvet Cookies

Since we’re oohing and ahhing over desserts, let’s chat a bit about Red Velvet desserts.  I love red velvet cake, cupcakes, bundt cakes and, well, all things red velvet.  Combine that with cream cheese frosting and I’m like a kid in a candy store.

These Red Velvet Cake Cookies are a real treat, friends!  Start your engines and head to the grocery store to grab these ingredients, I’m fairly certain your family (or co-workers) will thank you later.  Pssst, don’t forget the milk!

Let me know what you think! Enjoy.
