How to make Red Velvet Crinkles Sandwich

A crinkle is not a crinkle without the cracks. The secret to making the perfect crinkle is you chill the dough in the fridge before you bake these cookies. Chilling the dough will make the dough easier to work with and it’ll hold it’s shape better when they bake in the oven. If you’d like to make the dough in advance, simply roll into balls and freeze on a baking sheet for 1 hour, then transfer to an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. As for the cream cheese frosting, beat butter, then add cream cheese and whisk until fluffy. Add sugar in batches and beat well, and lastly add vanilla and mix well together.
