Here’s what I did.

I flatten out all of the lumps of the red velvet cake mix with a potato masher.
Add eggs.
Add canola oil.
Stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
Spray a 10×15″ jelly-roll pan with cooking spray.
Spread half to two-thirds of the cookie dough into pan. I sprinkled a little flour over top so my hands wouldn’t stick to the dough when I pressed the dough into the pan.
Press cookie dough into baking pan.
In separate bowl prepare cream cheese filling. Soften cream cheese.
Add eggs.
Add vanilla.
Add sugar.
Mix cream cheese mixture with an electric mixer.
Spread cream cheese filling over top of cookie dough crust.
Spread cream cheese filling to the edges.
Crumble remaining Red Velvet cookie dough over top of cream cheese layer.
