Delicious! I used a teaspoon of vanilla in place of the bourbon, fat free cream cheese for the icing, and left out the coconut completely. My parents and I loved these! The frosting is pretty runny. I will have to play with that some or try a different one. I recommend not putting too much icing in the sandwiches or you'll create a mess (tempting, I know - it's delicious!). I think these would be great individually frosted and topped with pecans, too. I love how the texture is not very cake like - it's super moist and really tastes like a cookie! Can't wait to try this with a carrot cake mix!This is definately a keeper.

I made the cookies and left out the Bourbon completely, they turned out GREAT! I also left out coconut and pecans in the end, but everyone who ate these absolutely loved them! I've already gotten a request to make these again for the holidays. This is a super easy recipe to use with any cake mix/icing combination. I'm going to try others at some point!

These were so easy and everyone liked them very much. I did use the cooked icing from another recipe on this site (Red Velvet Cake by Eleanor Johnson) since I consider that the ultimate icing for red velvet anything. Will make again soon - Thanks!

I made these for a bake sale @ work and boy they went fast! They are absolutely the best cookies you will ever eat. I only made one subsitution. Instead of bourbon, I used buttermilk. This is a must try!!

I made these for our neighbors and I received a call from them after dropping the cookies off- she said she was going crazy out of her mind with how amazing they were. Quick and easy, but oh-so-yummy, I will be making these for Easter tomorrow! Next time I will try making the red velvet from scratch.
