Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, cake flour, melted butter, eggs, evaporated milk, and red food coloring. Mix with an electric mixer on slow speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the dough to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling period is crucial for the dough to firm up, making it easier to roll and cut intricate snowflake shapes. (4+ hours)

03

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. (10 minutes)

04

Step

On a lightly floured surface (parchment paper works perfectly), roll the chilled dough to a thickness of 1/8 or 1/16 inch. Use a snowflake-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Gently transfer the snowflakes to the prepared cookie sheet, leaving a little space between each. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Avoid overbaking to maintain the cookies' soft, tender texture. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Once completely cooled, decorate the cookies with white decorator icing as desired. Get creative with your snowflake designs! Consider adding edible glitter for an extra touch of sparkle. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use European-style butter.
If the dough is too sticky to roll, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches a workable consistency.
Store decorated cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.
