Red Velvet Cookies

This tasty cookie is a great valentines day treat! I had wanted to make them for quite a while but didn't want to do it unless I had a kitchen aid mixer. I can't wait until I own my own one day :)

I made the cookiesfor both Chad and my book club ladies (meg, casey, kate) and everyone liked them! Especially the boy!
