Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 13.25-oz. box red velvet cake mix
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oil (extra light olive oil, vegetable, or canola)
- 2 large eggs
Add-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (plus 2-3 extra for topping each cookie)
- 1/4 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: Using an electric hand mixer, combine the red velvet cake mix, oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Then gently fold in the white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the thick and sticky dough.
- Chill Dough: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This step firms up the dough, making it easier to handle and helping the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
- Scoop and Arrange: Once chilled, scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll each portion into a ball. Place the dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, press 2-3 white chocolate chips on top of each cookie for an attractive finish.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. The centers will look slightly soft when done, which ensures they stay chewy after cooling.
- Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to finish baking and set. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely or serve warm as preferred.
- Enjoy: Serve your soft red velvet cake mix cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage for an irresistible snack or dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with regular or milk chocolate chips if preferred.
- If the dough is too sticky after chilling, you can lightly flour your hands before rolling the dough balls.
- Refrigerating the dough is important to prevent spreading during baking and to enhance flavor.
- These cookies keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free variation, use dairy-free chocolate chips and an appropriate cake mix.
