Notes
NOTE: I've always made the cookie dough part with a full cup of oil, however, one individual thought this was too oily. You can decrease the oil to 1/2 cup and substitute 1/2 cup water for the remaining part of the cookie dough.
NOTE: This recipe calls for two full boxes of Red Velvet Cake Mix--not one.
