Christmas season is here and everyone is in full baking mode. Whether it's cookie exchanges or cookies for Santa, this recipe has the true look and taste of the season. Easy to prepare (from a boxed cake mix!) these beautifully crimson cookies dusted with powdered sugar will remind you of Santa's red velvet suit dusted with snow on Christmas Eve. When I made these cookies, I have to admit it was for an Oklahoma Sooners Football Watch Party. Of course they're ideal for Christmas with their red and white charm, but they're also ideal for Sooner fans whose team colors are crimson and cream. Not to mention the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Which speaking of the Cornhuskers, this recipe comes straight to you via my good friend Michaela at An Affair From the Heart. When we were invited to a watch party last minute a few weeks back, I immediately went to Michaela's blog because as I've said for years, "Her recipes are tried and true and I know they will be a hit and I can make them with success and without a practice run." These were the hit of the watch party, and I knew as soon as I made them I would be sharing the recipe with the holidays in mind. With all of the holiday festivities upcoming, be sure to check back here at The Devilish Dish for more great holiday recipes and gift ideas, and visit Michaela at An Affair From the Heart for more of the same!

RED VELVET CRINKLE COOKIES
(From An Affair From the Heart)
1 Box Red Velvet Cake Mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, eggs and vegetable oil until well-combined. This will be a thick and sticky dough. Place the powdered sugar in a bowl. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough into balls and then roll into the powdered sugar coating heavily. Place the dough balls onto the parchment lined cooking sheets and bake for 8 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an air-tight container.
Makes approximately 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
