Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies!

Here is a great recipe to make for holidays or just for a treat.  I made these for my Girl Scouts and they were so easy to make.  I had my son help with the cookie part and my daughter help with the filling.  I made these red velvet but you can use any cake mix you like.... I think lemon would be great. You can also use a cookie cutter and cut out shapes and then put the filling in them.  I hope you enjoy!!
