How To Make monster eye cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, beat butter, vanilla, cream cheese, and egg until well blended and fluffy. Add food coloring. Blend. Stir in cake mix until well blended.
Step 3

Roll into 1 inch balls (I used my cookie scooper) and roll in powdered sugar before placing on prepared cookie sheet. (I liked them better when I flattened the dough lightly with my palm otherwise the cookies were really poofy and round instead of flat.)
Step 4

Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes. remove from oven and immediately lightly press a candy eye into center. Allow to cool completely before removing from pan.
Step 5

Enjoy with your favorite "ghoul" ;)
