Easy Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies
Delicious and visually appealing red velvet cookies made easily with a cake mix, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup chocolate chips optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well blended.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and mix again. If you're adding chocolate chips, fold them in now.
Baking
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie, as they will spread a little while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake.
- Once they start to look set, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For chewier cookies, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. You can also experiment with different mix-ins like nuts or white chocolate chips. Adjust sweetness by reducing sugar in frosting or skipping powdered sugar dusting.
