Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Roll Sugar Cookie dough
- 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix (plus ingredients to make)
- 1 ½ tubs Vanilla Frosting
- Sprinkles and other holiday cupcake decorations (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Prepare the cupcake pan by lining with cupcake liners.
- Prepare the cake mix following the directions on the package. Place the cake batter into a large squeeze bottle, a cake decorating bag or a thick plastic baggie.
- Secure the top of the bag if using. If using a squeeze bottle fill the bottle with the cake batter and snip the tip of the bottle to slightly widen the hole.
- Open the roll of cookie dough and using a teaspoon measuring spoon scoop exactly one teaspoon of cookie dough and roll into a ball. Place the sugar cookie dough ball into the center of a cupcake liner in the pan.
- Repeat filling the mini cupcake pan. Use the back of the measuring spoon to flatten the ball into a disc that completely fills the bottom of the cupcake liner. Being careful not to let the cookie dough move up the sides of the cupcake liner.
- Carefully fill each cupcake well with cake mix to ¼ an inch from the top of the pan. Make sure the sugar cookie dough is completely covered with cake batter. Do not overfill!
- Place the mini cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until the cake batter is set in the center.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool at least 5 minutes. After five minutes carefully remove each mini cupcake from the baking pan and place on a wire cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.
- Once cool frost with vanilla frosting and decorate with holiday sprinkles and cupcake decorations.
