I don't own a smoker yet, and I feel compelled to contribute to this forum since I've learned sooo much from the members here. So here are some cookies I made for a 2012 Christmas Party.
Recipe for the cookie:
1 package of red velvet cake mix
1 small package of instant pudding mix
1 cup of sour cream
2 eggs
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease cookie sheets or use parchment paper.
Mix the powder ingredients together, add the sour cream and mix thoroughly, add the eggs in one at a time till well blended, add vanilla. I used instant oreo cookie pudding mix, and sifted out the big chunks of oreo cookies, but any pudding flavor would work.
The dough is thick and stiff, drop on to cookie sheet. I use a cookie scooper, it's like a mini ice cream scoop, it holds 1 floz, about 1 Tbs of dough. I baked them till a toothpick came out clean, it took approximately 18 mins.
Recipe for cream cheese frosting:
1 8oz package of cream cheese
1/2 cup of salted butter, softened
2 tsp of vanilla extract
4 cups of powdered sugar
Whip butter and cream cheese together.
Add sugar one cup at a time, then the vanilla, beat till smooth.
I put the icing in a zip-sandwich bag and clipped a corner to pipe it out in swirls. I piled some cookies high with frosting, and left some with just a little bit. Also, I thought about this after I made the cookies: Next time I will paint two stripes of green food coloring gel inside the bags before loading it with the icing. It should leave a little stripe and make for a more festive presentation.
I got lots of compliments from many of my in-laws, young and old.
