Steps:
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream the butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the flour and mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the cake mix and water and continue mixing until smooth, about 1 minute more. Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and flatten into a disc. Wrap tightly, then refrigerate until slightly firmed, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough in half. Working with one portion at a time (wrap the other in the plastic and refrigerate until ready to use), roll out on a lightly floured surface to ½ inch thick. Cut out shapes using the cookie cutters. Use an offset spatula to gently lift the cookies and transfer to the prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Gather and re-roll the scraps until all of the dough is used.
- Bake the cookies until they have puffed and the edges begin to crisp, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- When ready to decorate, place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted completely.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dip the cookies in the candy melts, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Alternatively, transfer the candy melts to a small piping bag and cut the tip, then drizzle over the cookies. Garnish with the red, green, and white sprinkles. Let sit until the candy hardens, about 10 minutes.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 2 8-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
- In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vinegar, and red food coloring.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light, fluffy, and homogenous, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat on medium speed until incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to incorporate.
- Add ½ of the buttermilk mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined, 1-2 minutes. Add ½ of the dry ingredients and beat until well-combined, 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining buttermilk and dry ingredients. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the coffee and beat until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before flipping the cakes out onto a wire rack, then let cool completely
- While the cakes are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on high speed until well combined and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add the heavy cream, salt, and vanilla and mix to combine. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, and beat until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.
- Once cakes have cooled, trim off the domed tops, reserving the scraps. Cut each cake in half so you have 4 even layers.
- Place 1 cake layer, cut-side up, on a cake stand. Spread an even layer of frosting over the cake. Place another cake layer cut-side down on top of the first layer, spreading another even layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining 2 layers. Spread a thin layer of frosting all over the sides and smooth out with an offset spatula or bench scraper. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, until the layer of frosting has hardened.
- Frost the outside of the cake with a thick layer of frosting. Crumble the reserved cake scraps, then press into the frosting around the bottom of the cake.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with the rack in the middle position. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Break the chocolate squares into chunks, place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High until the chocolate melts, about 90 seconds. Stir the chocolate until smooth and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy; pour in the egg and beat until smooth. Mix in the red food coloring and chocolate, scraping the bowl down regularly, until evenly blended, about 30 seconds. Add half of the sifted dry ingredients, stirring until well incorporated.

- Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven until they spring back when pressed, about 9 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:
- For the best red velvet flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder. A Dutch-process cocoa powder will give you a deeper, richer flavor than a natural cocoa powder.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make the cookies even more festive, decorate them with red sprinkles or a drizzle of white chocolate.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
These red velvet box cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're soft, chewy, and have the perfect amount of red velvet flavor. Whether you're making them for a holiday party or just a special treat, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
