Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  3. If using, gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
  4. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. For crinkle cookies, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • These cookies are excellent for Valentine’s Day or Christmas cookie platters.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
