Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for bakery style red velvet cookies)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If you are using them, fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will still look slightly soft for chewy red velvet cookies.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For red velvet crinkle cookies, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking.
Notes
- For thicker, more bakery style red velvet cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute the melted butter with 1/2 cup of melted salted butter.
- These simple cake mix desserts freeze well; place cooled cookies in an airtight container between layers of wax paper.
