Use your fingers to press the cookie dough until you have a flat circle, then spoon a couple teaspoons of cream cheese filling onto the middle of the dough and fold up the edges until all the cream cheese filling is covered. If the dough is sticky, lightly dust them with all-purpose flour. This is the easy part! Take a heaping tablespoon of the cookie dough and flatten it into a pancake-like circle with your hands. If you want to play it safe, start with about half of what the recipe calls for and work up.

Depending on the food coloring you're using, it might have more pigment (like a gel food coloring), making for a more concentrated color. If you want them to have a less intense color, start with 1/2 teaspoon and then add more as you mix up the dough.

We like a bold red color for these cookies, so we don't skimp on the food coloring with a full tablespoon. How do I make sure to get the red color just right? This is a soft cake-like cookie that's made of all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and red food coloring. Make the mixture and then prep your dough. It's just cream cheese, (make sure it's at room temperature for easy mixing), a little powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. These cookies get stuffed with a three-ingredient cream cheese filling that tastes similar to cheesecake. Stuffed cookies might sound a little fancier than regular cookies, but it doesn't mean they're fussy. These are the one of the most festive Christmas cookies you can add to your cookie swap spread. Naturally, we had to make a stuffed red velvet cookie and we are soooo happy we did.

We love a good stuffed cookie and we're obviously obsessed with all things red velvet.
