Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for at least ten minutes before gently twisting to remove from pan. Place on rack and let cool completely.
Red Velvet Cheesecake Filling
Whip heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Beat cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until soft and fluffy.
Beat in sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually beat in cake mix. If you want a deeper red, beat in red food coloring until desired color is achieved.
Fold in whipped cream.
Chill cheesecake filling for one hour before piping into cookie cups.
