Comment préparer Cream Cheese Ladybugs
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add the red food coloring, vanilla extract, and egg yolk to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and a uniform color is achieved.
- Gradually add the yellow cake mix to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll approximately 1/2 tablespoon of dough into 40 small balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Roll the remaining dough into 40 slightly smaller balls. Attach each small ball to a larger ball to form the ladybug body.
- Using a small knife dipped in flour, gently score a line down the center of each larger ball to create the ladybug's head.
- Decorate the ladybugs' bodies with chocolate candy sprinkles.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Let the cream cheese ladybugs cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
