Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 18 oz box red velvet cake mix*
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- a few drops red food coloring optional*
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees & line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
- In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, melted butter & eggs until smooth.
- Optionally, beat in the food coloring for a more vivid red color.
- Mix in the chocolate chips. I like to reserve a couple tablespoons for placing on top of each cookie.
- Form into balls about 1 - 1.5 tablespoons in size and place 2 inches apart on a lined cookie sheet. I use a cookie scoop for this.
- Optionally dot the top of each cookie with a few extra chocolate chips.
- Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until the tops look set.
- Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
Notes
- Do not prepare the cake mix as directed on the box.
- If your box of cake mix is 15oz, I recommend using 1/3 cup melted butter instead.
- Using red food coloring will give the cookies a more vivid red color. I used a few drops of red food coloring for the cookies photographed.
- Nutrition information is based off of 1 cookie, with the recipe yielding 34 cookies total.
- Storage & Makeahead Details: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Baked and cooled cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. I do not recommend freezing the cookie dough for this recipe.
