Red Velvet Gooey Butter Cookies

My friend Holly is what I call a Foodie.  She doesn’t have a blog, so sometimes, I happen upon some of her cooking awesomeness and she lets me share it here with you.

Last week, we went to our girls group called Bright Lights (a group where we talk about being Godly young ladies, do a craft and eat a snack), and she was the host.  Each month, we take turns hosting and providing the craft and the snack.  This week was Holly’s turn and she made some awesome cookies.  She said I could share the recipe for these Red Velvet Gooey Butter Cookies.  By the time we had left her house, the whole plate of cookies was gone.
