How to Make Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies
- Add the cake mix, oil, and eggs to a large mixing bowl.
- Use a handheld electric whisk to beat the ingredients together.
- Add the chocolate chips and use a spatula to fold them into the cookie dough.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour (or up to 2 days).
- Preheat the oven to 350oF. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
- Scoop out the cookie dough onto the baking sheets (about two heaped tablespoons of dough per cookie).
- Leave some space in-between each cookie as they will spread during baking.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Tips Tricks and FAQs
- You can use any brand of cake mix that you prefer.
- You can swap out the canola oil for vegetable oil if you prefer.
- Do not skip the chilling process in this recipe. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- While the chocolate chips are a great edition you may omit them.
- For a very chunky soft on the inside, crisp on the outside cookie – consider leaving your dough overnight or up to 2 days. The flavor will improve and the texture will be even better!
- If you want a crispier cookie, you will want to increase the baking time to 12 minutes.
- When the cookies are done they will still appear soft. These will firm up as they cool.
- Feel free to add some additional chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies after you remove them from the oven.
- Swap out your milk chocolate chips for white chocolate chips.
Storage
You will want to store your red velvet cake mix cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Can you freeze red velvet cake mix cookies?
