Red Velvet Thumbprint Cookies with Cream Cheese Filling are to die for! Perfect for Christmas, Valentine's Day or a romantic night. Recipe at Remodelaholic.com

There is something incredibly decadent about red velvet. Throw in the addition of a sweet cream cheese filling, and I am in heaven. These are the perfect cookies to satisfy your red velvet cravings. The filling is no-bake, so when you bite into this delicious morsel it is like biting into a slice of mouth-watering cake you can hold in your hand.

Really is there anything better than your favorite cake in cookie form? I didn’t think so. Just look how pretty they are. The color is vibrant and they look like you spent an hour baking your heart out. The good news is these cookies only take about 30 minutes to make. So hustle into the kitchen and start baking.

These red velvet thumbprint cookies are not your typical cookie. They are fluffy and have a thick cake like texture. When baking, they expand quite a bit. So, be sure to leave plenty of room between your cookies to avoid them baking into a single cookie.

To make them extra special I dipped each cookie in red sugar before baking. The sugar adds a nice contrasting texture to this yummy desert. These would be perfect for a potluck, cookie exchange, Santa, or even Valentines Day. There is just something awfully romantic about red velvet.

I also highly recommend letting the cookies cool completely before adding the filling. If you add the filling while the cookies are fresh out of the oven, the filling will turn into a gooey mess. While that may sound delicious and tempting, take our word that you do not want to clean melted cream cheese frosting off your counter.

These cookies disappeared in less than day. Stash a few cookies in the refrigerator for yourself before announcing that they a done. You’ll be glad you did as you watch them vanish in front of you.
