Ingredients

Scale

1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and cocoa powder until smooth.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until creamy.
Scoop about a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm; place a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center.
Fold the dough over the filling to encase it completely and roll into a ball.
Place on prepared baking sheets about two inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
Allow cooling slightly before enjoying.
