This time, I went for red velvet cake! With cream cheese frosting, these were a very decadent little dessert.
...Hm. My brain is a little on the tired side, so that's all I can think to say about these!
I can say though, that you can either roll these out and cut them into shapes, or drop them onto the pan by 1/2 tbsp full. What I did was scoop them with the 1/2 tbsp, then roll that into a nice ball.
Then I used the back of a spoon and pressed them down so they were about 1/4" thick.
