Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting

The secret to having a cake mix recipe taste homemade is to use homemade frosting. AND cream cheese frosting is easy and the taste is so much better than the prepared frosting.

Pipe the frosting onto one cookie and top with another cookie. Make sure you flip the cookies over so you have a flat surface on both sides of the icing. If you don’t want to pipe the frosting on, you can use a knife or an off-set spatula to spread the frosting.

Spread homemade cream cheese on the bottom of the red velvet cookies.

Decorate with fun colorful sprinkles and serve!
