Pink Velvet Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy
2. Add in eggs, a few drops of pink food dye (color to preference) and cake batter flavor, mix until combined
3. Add in baking powder and flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix until combined
4. Scoop cookies and bake for 8 minutes. I always recommend under baking! The cookies will continue to cook some after being removed from the oven. So if they don’t seem completely done at the 8 minute mark, it’s ok! Take those suckers out of the oven.
5. If you plan to frost cookies, gently press the tops of the cookies while they’re still warm to create a flat surface for frosting. I usually use the bottom of a glass for this. Do not smash your cookies! Just lightly press the top down slightly to create a flat top surface.
6. Let cookies cool before adding frosting.
